Didn't I just write about public safety eating their young? I hate to be a broken record, but really I see it up close sometime.Okay, so my question is why are there older generation folks who sit back, relax, and refuse to assist the next generation of providers....until. Until they do something they (the older generation) do not like.
"You can't do it that way."
"You're doing it wrong."
"You do it the way I say it."
Ever thought about offering an explanation?
You see, it isn't I don't want to learn from you, but when I watch you pencil whipping your friend's certifications or coming back to a serious questions with pithy answers like "you don't need to learn that because you can't fix it" I tend to wonder about the other advice you have for me.
Crazy idea here, but if you want me to take you serious, be serious. Stop with the passive aggressive. Show up on time and be a positive influence. In fact, when you get asked to take on a project, take it on. Don't say no, and then yes, and then no, and then yes to feed your ego. Others of us are already picking up your slack for those days you don't have time to do the basics of your job. One more task is no big deal.
It infuriates me because all of this is true and we see it again and again in organizations where we allow people to dominate a conversation simply because they speak louder. The news flash is yelling is not policy and it certainly doesn't help the workplace dynamic.
If you are looking for a meal, go eat lunch, you've jumped some new people one time too many, and the fish may be in the mood to bite back.
