I think you mean inversely.
The question is a bit of a red herring. By all means, get rid of unproductive and troublesome employees. But if you try to use age as a simplistic predictive proxy for productivity or attitude, I think evidence shows that you'll fire a lot of the wrong people, as well as court the wrath of labor attorneys.

- jsivakumaran 8y agoYour comment above would make more sense had you said inversely.
- nate_meurer 8y agoOk, then I have no idea what you were asking. Can you state it in a different way?

- smbullet 8y agoI don't think omeid was talking about time spent in the office but rather cognitive ability.
- killaken2000 8y agoIndirect (negative) correlation is used when something goes up but the thing under discussion goes down. I think you were thinking of inversely proportional. Searching Wikipedia, inverse correlation is also valid but I've always heard it called indirect or negative. I knew what you meant and you were on the right track.
