To be fair, not all senior associates are bitter, mean-spirited or jealous of others' youthful glow. How do you know if you are a Crotchety associate? If you answer yes to any of the following, you might want to consider the possibility that you are a bitter, old associate:
When you assign work to a more junior associate, have you ever said any of the following?
A) "Even you should be able to handle this assignment."
B) "Stop smiling - this is not fun."
C) "If I extend the deadline for completion, will you teach me how to use Tweeter? I mean Twitter?"
D) "Come on - assigning you this work at 7 p.m. on a Thursday and asking for a completed product by Friday morning is not unreasonable. You're young and can still pull all-nighters. I did it all the time at your age."
