High-tech companies are increasingly seeking out younger employees
All industry does this. It's nothing new.
“Why are middle-aged founders not instituting policies that are more favorable to people that are the same age as them?” he said. “You would imagine they have more empathy, more appreciation for the skills and experiences that they could bring to the position, but there seems to be this preference for youth.”
Because they're young and desperate and work much cheaper and longer with much less demands most of the time?
With more baby boomers working and fewer retiring—and the estimation that almost half will run out of money in their twilight years—the workforce of older Americans is growing.
And what does that say about everyone who follows them and are in an even worse position? Couple that with AI and robotics coming down the pipe? The future is grim.
"Van Gogh painted alone and in despair and in madness and sold one picture in his entire life. Millions struggled alone, unrecognized, and struggled as heroically as any famous hero. Was it worthless? I knew it wasn't."
