You noted that age, experience and probably positional power all come into play in these relationship dynamics. I think there is another, glaring, factor. Parent-child relationships. As a Baby Boomer, I am probably more accepting of the foibles of millenials in part because my own children are of that generation. I hope their employers cut them some slack and I try to do the same for their cohort. Meanwhile, the stories millenials tell themselves about me are probably on some level influenced by their unconscious perception of me as a parental stand-in. Just wanted to bring this to your attention. – Jacque
