Lesson 13 Dialogue My Way or the HighwayHey, it's good to catch up with you again! I'm liking all these new faces here, but sometimes I detect tension due to the generation gap.For sure, our generation values flexibility, spontaneity, and breaking barriers. On the one hand, I certainly do not mind age, but I do insist on having people be down to earth.Different mindsets seem to be a stumbling block to communication, but a concise set of rules could minimize that problem.Well, have you talked to the manager lately?

So, I might just try my luck!
