My employer had a sharp bimodal age distribution. I was hired during the defense layoffs of the mid 90’s, and was smack in the middle of that distribution, until the wave of retirements. Now the age distribution is log-normal with 5 years average experience. Was just given a 25% retention bonus yesterday, which is unheard of. They are scared of the old people leaving, and rightly so. The millennia’s job hop like crazy, and in my field there is a lot of institutional knowledge built up.
