Would you find it weird telling someone 10 years your senior what to do?

• edit he's only just started so i am showing him the ropes at the moment.

no, it's what I'm paid to do

Not at all as long as it's something I am qualified to provide advice/direction/leadership on

Yes, but getting the retirees to remember to wipe the blended blancmange off their chins doesnt really count, does it?

No,if he has a position where you have to do this then his age shouldn't bother you at all.

nope, i have 14 full time memebers of staff working for me and another 10 sub contractors on a daily basis, i am the youngest by 17 years. Earn their respect before you boss them about

used to find it amusing doing summer jobs alongside people 10-20 years older, and doing it better/faster etc. made me work harder at school

these days i dont find someones age a problem as long as they know what they're on about. could be 18, could be 80 - as long as they've got the skill i need i don't care.

I don't boss him about, i just try to make him feel at ease in his new job, whilst showing him how to do certain things.
