In addition, people that always hold other people accountable for their mistake, can also be more childish, due to a big part of learning from experience, is learning through your mistake. In a study regarding to why young people today, change job more often, compare to our parents’ generation, it is found, most employers today got little to offer the younger generation, as mentors, unlike most from our grandparent’s generation got much to teach and offer our parent’s generation, when they were in their 20s and 30s. Young people with options, usually desire been able to learn through their work experiences. In addition, people that always blame other for their own mistake, can be very hard to work for, it can even be a very hostile work environment, similar to workplace bullying. Thus, most young people that would stay at a job today, are those with no options, otherwise, they are fortune enough to come across an employer that is actually amount the small majority from our parent’s generation that demonstrate wisdom and capable of playing a mentor role. (usually that employer is a self-starter, that create an empire from no help, arrogant people that think it is always everybody else’s fault, are less likely to become successful that way, but usually own their success, due to fortune enough get into an existing established organization and when a vacancy become available well…somebody got to fill the post, even if only got crappy candidates available to fill the post, in that instance to determine whether a person is competent, isn't regarding to what position he/she hold in an organization, but how well or how badly they perform in that environment.)
Confucius once said, that a gentleman is hard to please, but easy to work for, a savage is easy to please, but hard to work for. Because when you work for a gentleman, he takes responsibility for his own mistake, but hold you accountable for your mistake and when credit is due, if it is his credit, he said it’s his, but if it is your credit, he says that it is yours’. When you work for a savage, he makes you take responsibility for both yours’ and his mistake and he take credit for both yours’ and his accomplishment. But the only way to please a gentleman is by doing a good job, the only way to please a savage, is start kissing ass.
People that think they are always right, also got the habit of contrasting information purely through their own imagination. Thinking “I am always right” they get into a habit of, instead of gaining understanding towards a situation through research or expert advice, they tend to construct information via pure theorization and believe their theory can’t possibly be wrong, sometime they might even turn a blind eye, to factual information that contradict their theoretical believe. While their theorization in their field of expert or got sufficient experience point, might be correct or close to accurate, when dealing with topic, require a lot more experience points then they got or specialization far from their own, it is possible their theory is completely wrong, sometime nothing more than the jibber none sense, of a crazy old fool. In addition, their theories will usually work in coalition with their belief of “I am always right and it is always somebody else’s fault.” And that sometime might compromise their judgement and it could lead them astray, which further decrease their chance of gaining experience points, through life experience, in fact those life experience can become counterproductive for them. Thus, our grand parents’ generation on average were much wiser and mature, when they were in the age of 50s and 60s, compare to our parent’s generation at their current age of 50s and 60s.
Personally, some of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen baby boomer done include, when needing information regarding to government policy, instead of ringing the relevant government hotline or to at least check the department website for information, just start playing the “I think this might be what they are doing” game. Which, after looking up the government website, the website went into detail to explain their department policies in this arena, you realize the baby boomer’s theory is 110% wrong! When you try explain to them that their theory is wrong, they start screaming “I’m not 40, 50, 60 years old for shit!” and won’t even look at the information from the website, firmly believe their theory can’t be wrong and ended up screwing up everything, big time. Yet, think it is everybody else’s fault. And if you manage to get them to finally look at the website, despite at the time, they admit they are wrong, due to thinking they are right so much, three days later, they start remember it as, that BS theory is your and it is you that insist on the BS theory and they are the one that search the government website and found the information and realize your theory is BS.
Cupid particularly remember meeting one particular 25 years old woman from three years ago that was suing her employer for unfair dismissal, due to this exact reason. She was hired to merely work as the office manager, for one of the many field offices of an importing and exporting firm and ended up having to run the entire office, due to everybody in this field office of merely 5 employees, including the managers are screwing up in this very stereotypical baby boomer generation fashion. Having foreseen she might ended up getting fire for unfair dismissal, as the manager blame her for all his mistakes and take credit for every time that she saved everybody’s ass, she start secretly recording everything, thus, when she got fired for incompetent, she and her father, file a law suit for unfair dismissal. I am not aware of whether she won the lawsuit or not, as our encounter was limit to a period of time, prior to the jury making a verdict. Although she did say that prior to her, at least four assistance already got fire for incompetent, while single hand having to run the whole department.
