Yes. Never listen to new people with different views. Stay in your set ways. You are perfection.

I was a temp while going to grad school and figured out how to do the work of 4 full time people with an excel formula. No one listened lol

I'm with OP. Don't confuse telling me how to do my job with listening to ideas. Completely different.
Idonotkillpeoplethatismyleastfavoritethingtodo
Or you could. You know... Listen to see if it's any good. Give them a few tips or pointers if you don't agree, or actually learn 1/2
something if you do think they have a point. 2/2

OP said he was told what to do, doesn't sound like it was an idea or suggestion...
DroopyTheDawg
To be fair that's just what OP says, a lot of people will frame any idea that doesn't come from them as "telling me how to do my job"
I agree. We have zero context. But plenty of new little shits who don't know what they're talking about.

(1) Depends on the job, though. I work in a call center, and a lot of the older employees give out misinformation all the fucking time.
(2) They REALLY don't like it when you try to correct them. I've been there 2 years now, and I'm still cleaning up their messes.
(3) But they also throw out ridiculous rules at us that make our jobs harder and confuse our customers. The newer people were trained with
(4) these rules, and I just listen to them struggle on their calls while I keep using the tried and true method.

Isn't this what supervisors are for? Or is your supervisor one of those older employees?

As a french, I got really confused 'cause "trainée" is a real bad bad word here, meaning "whore", but a disgusting one.

Magster2004
Trainee means someone in training for a new job. Unless you already figured that out, then terribly sorry, have a fabulous day!
Ah ah yes I got that, thank you anyway and have a fabulous day as well :)
BatmansFirstEnemyWasCalledManBat
As an English, that's hilarious!
HalloweenAintTillManana
Over here we just call them trannys.
No no no they're real women. "trainer" means something like "walking around", so "une trainée" is walking around hunting dicks.
It was a joke about disgusting whores being trannys. Sorry either language barrier or just a bad joke.
Oh don't be sorry, I'm far from being a fast thinker :)
01100011011000010111001001100001

nope , they're real women, it comes from "trainer", which means like "to trail", so basically "trainées" are trailing around for dicks.
RandomFlotsam
As in, she is so bad, that she still is learning which parts go where? A trainee prostitute? "You incompetent newbie whore!"
Ah lol no, she exactly knows what's she doing, let's say "une trainée" is worse than a whore.
She is worn out is what he means.

I agree. I've learned things from younger, newer employees and taught older, veteran employees.
Quite. Though that being said, feel free to educate them and/or kick them in the crotch if they're wrong
TheGillMachine
As a trainer, FNGs are fucking idiots, though. Be humble and listen more than you talk. My time is much more valuable than you.

Most people do, doesn't mean they are right. Especially if they are new to the company.
Of course, but if they're not right you can tell them why, then they'll hopefully not make the mistake themselves
Wait, you mean if two people engage in healthy conversation, with the intention to learn, someone leaves the conversation having learned? :O
It's madness what can be achieved when people are open to having their ideas challenged :o
You have literally just blown my mind. Literally.

This . As a Supervisor with multiple people below me, listening to them can sometimes offer great insight and ideas.
ColdPizzaTieDyeShirtsBrokenHearts
Key word being "sometimes".
As long as they've put thought into their ideas
brizzleyournizzle
Agreed but big difference in suggestions vs telling someone how to do their job. Of course we don't know exact context of OPs post
sardeliac
TIL "newly hired trainees" are the best source of corporate wisdom.
They are ~a~ source, not the best :)
They are not *a* source until after they are trained.
Just because someone doesn't have specific training doesn't mean they don't have domain knowledge or useful insights.
You actually believe that, don't you? How long have you been in the working world, out of curiosity?
