ReplyDeleteHow about telling the cocky younger boss, "Hey, twinkie, you got a "Pass" on your position because you were born in a time when grade inflation became rampant, college degrees started getting handed out like candy, and standards lowered. Your listening and social skills are poor. If you can't manage your emotions better than this, you are not cut out to manage.
