I have temped for a male boss who was younger than me.  He acted superior, looked down on me and also had little in the way of people skills, although he thought he did.

I was offered a permanent job but the problem is, as a temp, you set your sights quite high and I think he was offended that I turned down the job to look for something better.

The main thing you have to remember is, everyone has a different style of working, and there will always be a generation gap regardless of who we work for.
