It's time for the generational battle royale 🤺

Hi nice workers! Happy Monday and welcome to the week where trust me, it isn’t just you - there’s not much going on. 🎄

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been sourcing some excellent guest writers for our newsletter and excited to kick off today with one from a verified genius (truly, she’s brilliant).

If you have an opinion about work you’re dying to get out there, reach out! If you’re not sure you can have your name on it, don’t worry, I’m happy to take credit for it publish it anonymously.

Hi there, guest writer Emily here! I have a slightly different perspective on the workplace, but like all of you, I have worked at a job and I think we should be nicer at it! 

My current role is in healthcare as a pharmacist. I work closely with people who have just graduated pharmacy school all the way through people who have been pharmacists for longer than I have been alive. It’s an interesting workplace dynamic.

We have a large age range of people who are all expected to show up to work and provide the same level of expertise and patient care. We also all must work as a team to make sure our patients are cared for without a clear hierarchy.

I’m here to tell you that generational differences are not only a myth, but are actively harmful to your workspace. 

Think about the last headline you read regarding generational differences. Did it make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, with an appreciation of the strengths of people of a different age?
