Wage cut? You've got to be kidding. I certainly have a lot more experience now than I had in my twenties, that translates to finding bugs faster and better for instance. I don't necessarily expect a raise but there has to be some compensation for inflation at the least.
- danieltillett 8y agoIf you are more productive than last year you do deserve a raise. What we want to avoid is leaving employers with only one way of solving the declining productive issue as their employees age. I think it is better to have a job that pays less than no job at all.
- ofrzeta 8y agoAs someone else above asked: how do you measure productivity? Also I think it's an simplification to think that it's all about productivity. I guess at Intel as everywhere managers tend to become younger on average because senior management thinks it's the only way to face the future challenges of digitalisation or whatever. Then you have the grumpy senior like myself who doesn't believe in the n-th iteration of some web framework or microservices or containers. So that guy becomes deadweight to dispose of.
