There are a lot of people over 40 in tech and some of them are ignorant. They try to manage something they don't know or can't fully understand. I think that's one of the reasons.
- sosborn 7y agoThis is not limited to the tech sphere, nor is it limited to people over 40. It’s actually really simple. Some people are great managers and some are awful. You know only know where people fall in that spectrum once they have been given a chance to perform those duties.
- JohnFen 7y agoAge has nothing to do with that.
- Infinitesimus 7y agoThat ageism is unnecessary here. You could equally say there are a lot of people under 40 and a lot of them are ignorant and do not understand business goals. Experience is a pretty good teacher in a lot of cases and a good manager must handle the balance between their own knowledge limits and learning how to enable their team effectively use their varying skills to deliver results.
- GoToRO 7y agoHow is that ageism? the older you are the more experience one would expect you to have. If you are over 40 and you learned nothing then what did you do? Younger people that have no experience... well that's to be expected.
