| Mar 6, 2015 at 21:58 | comment | added | Brandin | Is this issue specifically during meetings? I.e. after the meeting then there's no problem with the junior. Or afterwards does he come back and say "oh, I think we should do it this way instead" or something else like that. Could the problem be lack of direction/leadership during meetings | |

| Mar 5, 2015 at 17:05 | comment | added | Masked Man | Yeah, of course, my comments above may or may not be applicable to your specific case, but they would probably be useful to someone else who visits the site. Also, I meant "oldies" not in terms of age, but in terms of experience with the current company. I should probably post it as an answer, but I am too old to bother. :) | |

| Mar 5, 2015 at 16:26 | comment | added | Lorenzo Dematté | Thanks for your comment, it is nice (since this is a general Q) to have all perspective. Let me assure you that this is not the case; it's not really junior vs. oldies (even if inexperience plays a role), but wasting other people time and effort. As I said, I like a fresh, new point of view. I do not like to argue and re-discuss every little issue. It's like reinventing the wheel... | |
| Mar 5, 2015 at 16:19 | comment | added | Masked Man | I would like to offer the "junior's" perspective, since I have been in a similar situation. Too often, I have faced resistance from the "oldies" who have been with the company for 20+ years, refuse to listen to any new ideas, and bully the juniors because "this is how we have always done things here". I have known instances where the "juniors" had to put a hell lot of effort to adopt bugtracking systems, because the "oldies" preferred to use spreadsheet! Majority is not always right in IT. Technology gets obsolete everyday, and the "juniors" might be more updated than the "oldies". | |
