I physically cringe when I think of some of the things I said to my coworkers when I was fresh out school and definitely knew what I was doing and had a much better way of doing things and they just didn't understand.

I do think it's sort of a rite of passage, especially for the dorky socially awkward kids like I was who all of a sudden have a real job and don't really know how to interact with people.

    A lot of us were that. And now that we’re senior we have to recognize it in the youth and guide them to maturity instead of firing them, as our seniors did for us.

      there's no reason to believe you're now relatively wiser compared to 10 years ago than 10 years ago compared to 20 years ago :/ which is why in another 10 years you'll probably think how stupid it was to believe you can guide a young asshole and should instead have just fired them. just speculating.
