I’m 26 working in an office filled with people that are 30+. There are about a handful of us that are under 30. I work in a barebones marketing team.
Not to blow my head up, but it’s widely known that I do 90% of the marketing workload. Including all of my bosses stuff.
ANY TIME I need something done such as setting up promos in our software system, an update in pricing, etc. it always has to go through people who are over 35 (because almost no young people work here) and they ALWAYS give me push back.
Today for example, I asked for something, I got a reply saying “we don’t know what you’re talking about”. My boss asked for the literal exact same thing and somehow it’s “cleared up”. This is NOT the first time this has happened where my coworker has acted fucking clueless. My boss then tells me that “when emailing **** , don’t give too much information because it confuses them” so I replied “have they never done this before?” His response was “he’s been doing this for 40 years” my response was “so why doesn’t he know the data to use…?” No answer lol.
And note, it’s not like I’m giving this guy a shit load of data. I gave him the pricing of promos, promo selection, and the price of the selections. The part that was “too much” was the price of the selections which……..THEY ACTUALLY NEED AND WILL ASK ME FOR -_-
Also disclaimer, this marketing team uses marketing practices from 1980 and they are actually bad marketing practices now. How do I know this? Because I graduated college recently. My boss though? Graduated 30 fucking YEARS AGO and uses THAT as his standard and takes no information from us youngins.
Has anyone else ever experienced something similar? How do I go about it?
