Dear LFTP: new job, boss says he is trying too hard

• My new boss says I am trying too hard and overcompensating for my age; how do I put these feelings aside and how much should I change who I am?

A host reads a Dear LFTP letter from a 26-year-old whose new boss says he is trying too hard and overcompensating for his age; his confidence is shot and he asks how much of himself to modify. The hosts split: some argue the boss may be a threatened, poor leader and he should quit and go where effort is valued; others argue he should consider that the feedback may be right, stay humble, and not overstep. The Secular answer: lie low until he learns the lay of the land, then conference with the boss and ask to be guided.
