[quote=Anonymous]What’s the largest age differential you’d feel comfortable with, as a supervisor or employee? I’m a gen-X senior nonprofit administrator applying to jobs at much larger organizations in a new content area. I’m interviewing with one potential boss who is 20+ years younger than me. He has more direct experience in this field, seems very ambitious, and I’m sure I can learn from him. But honestly, I’m feeling awkward about reporting to someone so young. And he may have reservations about supervising a cranky old(er) woman. Do we all need to face reality that at some point, we get older and our bosses get younger (like doctors) or is this just an awkward fit for both of us? If the job seems perfect in other ways, how can I adjust my mindset? Do I just need to get over myself?[/quote]
