Perhaps I didn't make myself clear: I'm not asking companies to pay older employees more. I'm simply pointing out that job-hopping and personal commitments make it likely that older employees will demand a higher salary, which smaller companies may be loath to give.
- dogruck 9y agoI think we simultaneously agree and disagree. I agree that older candidates typically have expectations of higher total compensation. My point is that, either: 1. That expectation is unfounded -- they are looking to be paid out of proportion to the value they would provide back to the company, or 2. That expectation is justified, in which case the cash-poor company should find some way of striking a deal, so that they can bring on an employee of high value.
- walshemj 9y agoTough just because your a small company doesn't excuse you from how the market works or laws on discrimination.
- jpindar 9y agoPeople used to say that having dark skin made it likely that someone was less skilled. Both statements are prejudiced - pre-judging someone based on factors they cannot control.
