So I'm getting a promotion soon (yay!), moving up from just a line cook to sous-chef and I've only been with this company for a few months. Thing is that I'm still quite young (mid twenties) and will be the direct supervisor of some people a fair bit older than I am. Think 10-20 years older. It might just still be a bit of imposter syndrome, but the idea of having to tell people who have been in the business for far longer than I what to do and such really weirds me out.

I feel I wouldn't like it if "some young brat" that just got hired almost immediately gets a promotion and becomes my supervisor eventhough I worked at the company for far longer. Though maybe not everyone feels like this.

Do other people who have experience with a situation like this have any advice on how to deal with this? It's kinda been keeping me up at night...

Worked every time I did it but then again the people I work with aren’t easy and also don’t have “feelings” hurt so often. This world has officially been overpopulated by cowards and wimps and that’s the problem. Now is the time of the weak man and its destroying everything.

Sounds like a recipe for a toxic workplace that doesn’t do well in the modern world.

These days people are so cowardly that they don’t take the same sort of BS lying down.

The modern world is full of cowards and wimps is the point. Op really shouldn’t have to do any of this crap because people should just be adults. Now everyone just has an authority complex, and wants the authority of a king, with the accountability of a toddler…….. and normally cry “feelings” and “toxic” when they can’t just do what they want or are held accountable. Again it’s more the time of the weak man and it’s distorting the world. Corporate America never cared about feelings and that isn’t going to change now.

"Why is turnover so bad here?" I say this as en employee at a company that most employees quit day 2. If you aren't taking in to account other employees feelings/needs then they will quit. Then that makes everything harder, from training to just efficiency losses.
