According to a CareerBuilder survey, one in three people are older than their boss, and 15% are at least 10 years older.  That can cause problems, because of their different work styles.  Here are four ways that older and younger people are different at work: 

#1.)  Older people would rather talk face-to-face:  60% of older workers would rather talk in person, compared to 55% of younger ones.  35% of young workers text, compared to 28% of older ones, and no one likes to use the phone.

#2.)  Older people work overtime, while younger people bring work home:  Older workers are 10% more likely to show up before 8:00 A.M and 6% more likely to work an eight-hour day.  Younger workers are 7% more likely to bring work home.      

#3.)  Older people are more loyal:  62% think you should stay in a job for three years, while 47% of young people think you should stay until you learn enough to move up.

#4.)  Younger people are more likely to plan:  Nearly half of young workers write out a detailed plan before starting work, but two thirds of older workers skip the planning process and jump right in.
