he refused to follow organization policy on sth ("this is the way we've done it for 30 years!") and he constantly questions my authority and tries to litigate every decision. so, i told him "this is not optional" and "when I communicate a policy, I need it followed, not relitigated ... I'm not going to keep having this conversation."

In response, he said he resigned -- which is typical. He always overreacts and throws a temper tantrum. I honestly think he expected me to cave.

But what he doesn't realize is, everyone with authority in our org is now Gen X or younger and we're all tired of this entitled boomer shit and we're not going to indulge them anymore. They're used to a culture where they do whatever they want and no one ever says no or holds them accountable, so it's been an unpleasant wakeup call. This is the second boomer I've neutered in the past few months.

Don’t need to...

He said : “No [pumo], we will not have this conversation again. I will write X, Y and Z and explain to them why I am no longer going to be working here. I will also explain to anyone else who wants to talk to me about my situation.”

I responded: “That's your decision to make. I'll note that the policy I communicated applies to everyone. If you do plan to step away, please let me know as soon as possible so I can make arrangements to find your replacement.”

He said: “I have already let you know. I am not working again at [this organization]”

I then emailed one of the higherups he threatened to tell and he was cool with how I handled it.

he’s acting like the cock of the walk because he holds some nebulous policy-making authority over an 80yo retarded boomer he’s not even allowed to fire, so take a guess.

I had this happen a week ago. Boomer shitlawyer who was semi retired. He did well for about 9-10 months, then he stopped giving a shit. Missed deadlines, nonsensical filings, arguments on court based solely on emotion with no reference to statutes, case law, etc.

I've managed a good number of people over the last several years, and the worst was the one boomer who was nearly twice my age. Even worse, he was a rancid shitlib who was very vocal about his opposition to Trump and threw a few temper tantrums about DEI being cut. He also had fantastical ideas/suggestions on how the company should be run that sounded like some boomer fantasy from several decades ago. Overall, he seemed like a miserable person who was difficult to even talk to. Fortunately he retired about a year after I started managing him. All my direct reports today are much younger and easier manage because they're clearly just protecting an income and unlikely to write screeds criticizing management decisions like the boomer did.
