[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tip for my older colleagues -

Don't assume that just my being[b] less experienced than you generally means that I know less than you across the board[/b]. Not all of us kids are useless. Me, I try to treat everyone respectful and be appropriately grateful if someone helps me out, no matter who that person is.[/quote]

I really hope you don't write like this at your job. Your post was 2 sentences long and I had to read 3x to figure out what you were saying.

Please give examples how you, the young and less experienced, know more than me who has worked for the company for X  years and have been there done that a 1000x over.[/quote]

Ack, you're totally right. Clearly the afternoon coffee did not take. What I meant was that people who have less experience still may have valuable knowledge and contributions, possibly even to the issue in question. I'm a legal assistant and a know a lot more about e-discovery and cloud computing than many senior partners in my office. It's true that I do not have 30 years of legal experience, but in practical terms, knowing how to operate the company software well is sometimes more useful than that case you argued at the Supreme Court 15 years ago.

Everyone has their value and their skills. And I always try to find the answer myself before asking someone how I can find the answer, so as to stay out of their hair next time.[/quote]
