    Everyone deserves an initial base level respect, regardless of their age, that ammount of respect can either be increased, decreased or lost entierly, all based on their actions.

    I do not subscribe to the “respect your seniors” mantra, seniors can be complete dipshits just everyone else can.

    That being said, it is dumb to not listen to experience from a senior, though they will probably have shown through their actions that they should be listened to.

      Exactly, I’m of the same opinion.

      If their seniority is worth anything, they will also have merit to prove it. And too often I experienced they reached a position not because but rather despite their own lacking merit.
