I myself while perhaps rueing my age a little[heh! jus' a little mind you] have no problem coping with the fact of younger co-workers. I may feel creakier than I used to but am as young at heart as ever I was. Experience/knowledge is power. You'll compete well because of that. Young at heart is what will hopefully give me a decent old age barring falling locomotives or some other foolish demise. Cheers and good wishes to you too.
Thank you, quizzickle! That is very nice to hear. Things are smoothing out now at work and I was even invited to sit for an extra break with management. I have become so used to being the subordinate, I have to realize that I not only have freedoms I did not have before, but I also have to take responsibility for my whole crew's actions and not just defending my self. I had my first evaluation and there were some mistakes made that I took repsonsibility for. I was nearing an anxiety attack because I have fear of rejection. After the evaluation, my team told me if I had anything to worry about, I would not be working still lol. It helped put me at ease lol.
