I would say there's at least a 15 years of age gap..So sad...like auntie n uncle ard me.....n there's no topics to talk abt....sigh...well i feel like finding a new job....everytime lunch is like eat, not much talking then go back work...so boring...not much of interactive man...sianz...

last time my job oso like tat...10 yr age gap wif my colleagues. the things they tok(gov, jobs, working life etc) r really different from wat i tok wif my frens. oso kinda sianz loh....sometimes wanna say something but not much to say.

hmm...worked in 2 companies, where i had been the youngest in the co or departmt, working with pple at least 10 yrs older...still getting along well, in fact some of them became quite close with me...and i learnt quite alot from them, not only abt work, but abt life, family etc....
well, of coz there'll be some seniors whom i deem as belonging to different generation and we can never reach a common point of understanding.....so i refrain from communicating too much with them...
i think it's not the age tat matters, it's whether u're on the same wavelength anot..... -

Maybe you and their children study at the same school before? Ha. -
Learn to communicate with them. Talk abt. tv programmes, education, family, politics, work. I used to have many younger colleagues, treat them like kid sisters, go makan, shopping. They like to ask for advice on bf etc.
Age should not be a problem, in fact u can learn a lot from them & I'm sure they will be willing to teach u if u are humble -
or u address them uncle or auntie?

u will never know the feeling og a 19 year old boy working in NTUC fairprice felt. thw gap was like 20-30 years of age
