I see your point. I think the culture is set by those leading a business. Then again, those leading should listen to both internal and external factors that drive culture.
In recruitment, I regularly hear 'they're too old for this position' or 'they're too experienced.' In 2017.
I challenge thinking like this by trying to find out the real objection. 90% of the time it's a different objection that's normally easy to overcome. The remaining 10% can't be helped. The last example was a 63-year-old engineer who started for us last week - deemed too old and past it by an employer.
It won't change overnight, but it can change gradually.
Thanks for your comments and for sharing that link. A good read.
