That starts happening at about age 40 IME, and I think all my managers
since I was that age have been younger than me.


I'm older than my manager. I find no issue because he's a damn nice
bloke who knows what he's doing technically (slightly different specialism).

Also, because after a couple of goes at it, I HATE managing people so
have no wish to be bothered again. I manage machines and I like it that
way

I suspect he finds it more awkward than I do!

What do you feel about appraisals, then?!! We had to design our own
"mission statement" and other total ********. They'd always ask, what
do you want to be doing in five years' time -- expecting me to say
something positive like "running the company". I think even some of
the managers thought it was a complete waste of their time and mine.
