??there's a back channel of younger employees who communicate to get things done faster than the more...seasoned employees.
let's say there's something due by Friday. we need to coordinate with other offices and meet to figure out how to get the deliverable together. some of the older employees are still doing that thing where they say "I haven't sat down to check email yet". by the time they get caught up with what's being asked, some of the younger folks have sent texts, chatted about it, started sending their docs to the main POC and then we have a finished product like 2 days before it's due.
Yeah, seems familiar. I theorize that the closer most people get to retirement, the less they start caring.let's say there's something due by Friday. we need to coordinate with other offices and meet to figure out how to get the deliverable together. some of the older employees are still doing that thing where they say "I haven't sat down to check email yet". by the time they get caught up with what's being asked, some of the younger folks have sent texts, chatted about it, started sending their docs to the main POC and then we have a finished product like 2 days before it's due.
meanwhile... one day after it's due, some of the older folks are just getting around to sitting down to talk about it.
lol like my onedrive docs. I drive myself crazy trying to figure out my wonky logic to find old docs.Filing system wth is that?
you might be right.Yeah, seems familiar. I theorize that the closer most people get to retirement, the less they start caring.

This is so true. The logic usually works if the doc is within 2 years old. But anything older than that, and I realize I was a moron back then. I will probably think the same, 2 yrs from now, about my current system. Or maybe I will cross over to the seasoned employee side and just not care. Only time will tell.lol like my onedrive docs.

i'm the client...so yeah, i'm dealing with this on the client side.ahhhh
this is not something i experience in my client team - we're all on the young side.
i can 100% see this happening with some of our clients tho - the utilities tend to skew older.
