I’m shocked at your current response to the 64-year-old man who complained about working with younger girls within the workplace who he finds “annoying.” This particular person is a sexist and you must have known as him out for it. To finest give the reply to the issue, reverse the sexes and it will be clear by present requirements. What would you might have mentioned if “boys will be boys” banter was occurring?

I might have mentioned the identical actual factor. We now have 5 generations within the office and norms have modified dramatically. It was by no means OK to mistreat anybody at work for any cause, however a 64-year-old man pissed off by the non-public banter of 20-something girls doesn’t make him a sexist.

We want extra understanding and to save lots of the hostility for the transgressions that deserve it. By the best way, I sympathize, since I can barely hearken to my son’s pals in dialog half the time earlier than my eyes begin rolling into the again of my head.
