“And Boomers, you were not wet behind the ears and stupid and arrogant at work when you were young?”
Yes, and most of us learned the hard way. I got fired from a few jobs until I got right in my mind. Most of the Z’ers will come around.
Seven months out of college, I was an Army ADA 2nd LT in charge of a Chaparral missile platoon. Three months later, they added the other Chaparral platoon to my plate.
Fortunately, both of my platoon sergeants did at least one tour in Nam. I grew up fast, there was no other choice.
However, I became a real PITA after a year on the job. I wasn't arrogant, just supremely confident in guiding my platoons. I welcomed it, it was "showtime".
Plenty of stories, I know they're interesting only to me.
