RE: Another question to ponder

It's a two-way street. As colleagues, you're equals. The age difference 
shouldn't make a difference.

I once was shocked to learn that a colleague was in his fifties. Didn't 
look like it, and I never even thought about his age.

Don't use your age to either treat younger colleagues as kids or demand 
respect based on age, and don't treat anyone older any differently than 
your other professional contacts and all should go well.

But, if a younger worker views you as an old coot, or an older worker 
demands that you show them respect they deserve, that's another bridge to 
cross.
