Don't Trust Anyone Under 30 - By Catherine Kenney

Many of us over a certain age used to believe an easy slogan of modern youth-worshipping America: Don’t trust anyone over thirty! we’d say, back in the day when that meant anyone who was born before us, members of the unruly onslaught of babies that boomed onto the scene after World War II.

Communicating across generations is challenging, at best. But it can be accomplished with a bit of training, some patience and a whole lot of common sense. Below are three comments you should never say to an older colleague.

The Brush Off

By Leigh Anne Jasheway

I had to buy a new toothbrush the other day and, after spending twenty minutes in the grocery store trying to decide between the forty-seven options, I’ve come to the conclusion that the reason we don’t have a cure for the common cold or regular space travel to Mars is that all the best scientific minds in American are working for the toothbrush companies.
