I’ve now got a kid for a boss – what can I do?

I’ve been at my company for 20 years and now someone half my age and experience has been brought in to be my boss. I can’t afford to quit, but I don’t think I can stomach the smug attitude of this generation. Any tips?

Hosting a Zoom viewing party for your colleagues of the movie “Boss Baby” could be funny, but also potentially career limiting. Alternatively, try to manage your ego (not to mention your sweeping stereotypes) and reflect on why this person was made your boss and see what you can learn from it. You might even consider what you can learn from this person. You may have more experience, but is it the right experience? Do you need to learn new skills or ways of thinking? The best thing is to give yourself options, so don’t give your new boss any reason to think that you are resentful, otherwise the option of keeping your job may not be your decision. Your boss may feel self-conscious too and could learn something from you. I’m completing my junior year in college and still haven’t been able to line up an internship for the summer. I can get a job as a server or something, but won’t that look bad on my résumé?
