Summary: As workers in the United States get older, it is increasingly likely that they will have significantly younger supervisors. In these instances, workers experience status incongruence – the supervisor–subordinate relationship does not conform to social ‘norms’. As a result workers may, in some instances, be dissatisfied with their opportunities for advancement if they have a significantly younger supervisor. This is most likely the case among more educated workers, potentially leading to lower job satisfaction and increased likelihood of quits. Ordered probit estimations of the 2008 wave of the National Study of the Changing Workforce confirm these hypotheses.
