"I don't see how a 50 year old person (not myself,I'm in my 20s) can be culturally compatible with people young enough to be his/her grand child."
30 years is generally one generation, not two.
And "culturally compatible" enough to work together is way different from being culturally compatible enough to date, or whatever.
- badrabbit 9y agoWhen did I mention dating? I was clearly talking about work culture. 30 years from now you will most likely find that the trendy work culture of the present would be a dated old way of doing things. Change is inevitable. My whole point was to promote cultural diversity, so that if someone shows up in a black suite and ties and prefers a cubicle over an open office space then the people who entered the work force wearing sandals and shorts to work should be accomodating as he should accomodate their views -- so long as none of this gets in the way. Aegism in silicon valley is a chronic problem, are you saying it doesn't exist or are you claiming "culture fit" isn't used to push out older workers at some companies?
