So you know when we're kids and older kids assume they're better simply by the virtue of being older? Is that a thing in adulthood? I'm getting that vibe from a coworker but I'm not sure. She'd about 10-15 years older than me though we're at the same technical skill level for what we do - social media management. But she loves to give me tips and tricks and feedback and seems to bristle when I do the same. I already know a lot of the stuff she's telling me too but I feel like it wouldn't go so well if I pointed that out. Is she bristling because I'm younger? Or because she assumes I'm not on the same level skill wise?
Oh yes, it always amazes me that some people think that age has given them some unique wisdom. If it were me, I'd ask her if there was anything else I already know that she'd like to tell me? But then I don't really care and always get into trouble in these sort of situations.
