In a related finding, many older workers are reporting to younger bosses, a CareerBuilder survey reveals. Forty-three percent of workers age 35 and older say they currently work for someone younger. Breaking down age groups, 53% of workers age 45 and older say they have a younger boss, followed by 69% of workers 55 and older.
Occasionally, the younger boss/older worker situation can create challenges.
“As companies emerge from this recession, it is important for employees to work together and move the business forward regardless of their ages,” comments Rosemary Haefner, VP of human resources for CareerBuilder. |
