Weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-manage-anyone-older-than-you#post-542906 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 00:05:49 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 542906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at the moment. I managed someone 20 years older than me when I was 17. That was a tense relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-manage-anyone-older-than-you#post-542879 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:47:53 +0000 JennyD 542879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, a few that are significantly older than me. And I find they are the easiest to manage! It's all these damn kids that are hard to manage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-manage-anyone-older-than-you#post-539953 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 15:06:57 +0000 mediagirl 539953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One but he acts younger. :) I used to manage quite a few people who were older than me, then we did a bit of a house cleaning and all those people went away... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-manage-anyone-older-than-you#post-539901 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 14:49:39 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 539901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to. I was the manager and every single employee was older than me. One by 17 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-manage-anyone-older-than-you#post-539829 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 14:28:05 +0000 pui 539829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don' really "manage" anyone, but I am the boss's wife and so when he's out and they start goofing off I sometimes have to nicely tell them to get back to work. :P</p> <p>All but one of my co-workers is older than I am, but not by much. We're talking like 4 years older max lol. Everyone who works for this company is younger than 30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-manage-anyone-older-than-you#post-539817 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 14:26:24 +0000 fussygal 539817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not currently. I'm one of the oldest where I work (and I'm in my late 20s!). When I first started this job the woman who managed me was 6 months younger than me, but she acted waaaaay older - I thought she was at least 7 years older than she was. When she found out I was older she was really bothered by it - it was very strange. I didn't think much of it since it was just six months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-manage-anyone-older-than-you#post-539644 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:58:52 +0000 LemonLong 539644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I started as a manager right out of college and so almost everyone was older than me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-manage-anyone-older-than-you#post-539510 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:27:23 +0000 rachiecakes 539510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. But I also hired them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-manage-anyone-older-than-you#post-539430 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:09:14 +0000 MaisyMay 539430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even though I am a manager, I don't manage anybody. :)</p> <p>Everybody that DH manages is older than him, some by 3-4 decades. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-manage-anyone-older-than-you#post-539423 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:07:51 +0000 Alivoo01 539423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did when our department was larger. Managing older guys was difficult sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-manage-anyone-older-than-you#post-539402 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:59:15 +0000 autumnlove 539402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't right now. Everyone is younger or the same age as me.</p> <p>I have in the past and some people were really difficult to work with. </p>
