[QUOTE="Been In Brown Too Long, post: 3723912, member: 32249"] Funny, before I retired, being the "old guy" was a badge of honor. You had been through ALL of the sh#t, and come out the other side the winner. Being called a newbie, rook, millennial, fresh meat, dead man walkin', etc. were the derogatory things you didn't want to be called. So many young guys would come up and ask me how it was possible to make it 30+ years. Most of them get it. Ones that don't see the value in the senior employees usually don't make it very long themselves. I guess we're all assuming, at least I am, that your old dude is a vet. If he's a newbie old guy, then he's just gotta suck it up. Most new guys go through some sort of new guy issues. I remember when I first started, some guy screaming at me while unloading trailers daily. I thought he was management. Found out months later he was just a guy with 6 months more than me...lesson learned. He was fired within the year, justice...lol. [/QUOTE]
