However, I think his remarks smack of agism because I have seen the same behavior in young people with poor attitudes. Singling out the older worker,rather than referring to the negative worker, is like jumping on the bandwagon because corporate America is throwing older people out like holiday trash. Furthermore, his final conclusion that he may not have left the legal field were it not for his exposure to the negative coworker, demonstrates a personal lack of responsibility for controlling his own future. Professionally, or personally, making other people "responsible" for our own behavior is a formula for disaster. Had the author concluded that he should have changed his circle of colleagues, as he did in the seminar, then maybe he would have continued a legal career would have shown more insight, and maturity. Instead he sounds like a person still looking to blame others, like abusive people who say I never would have done this to you, if you hadn't...Sounds like some personal therapy would be beneficial.
