I've just appointed a new manager to my team

[BecomeStronger]

A fairly senior post. He was born 4 years after I was married. How did that happen, that I'm comfortably old enough to be the mother of my senior staff? It's been happening for juniors for years but this one brought me up short

He’s a man

I get you, OP. I work in HR so get to see DOBs etc. In my mind, someone born in 2000 should be in primary school.

@purpledagger I work in payroll and processed something for someone born in 1994 today. I genuinely had to check they weren't under 18!

What makes it worse is that I was born in 1991 but in my head I'm really not that old

LOL, I have a boss who is young enough to be the daughter of my oldest nephew!

My students today were not born when I left Uni, so I have been at work for several years longer than they have been alive
