They have to treat older people with respect, and pay them accordingly. Apparently, they don't want to.

- xtracto 5y agoWe don't deserve a higher salary because we are older. "Respect your elders" is a very cultural thing. We should "respect" all people the same. We should "respect" (acknowledge) people that do things worthy of respect.
- beebeepka 5y agoPresumptuous response. I responded to someone who literally said older guys ask for too much and that's why they don't hire them
- bequanna 5y agoUgh, cmon. You are really straining to be outraged here. That is not at all what I said. In my experience, older people almost always ask for above market compensation regardless of experience. We don’t hire people that ask for too much money regardless of age.
- beebeepka 5y agoWhy would I be outraged? Who you pick is entirely up to your company. If you don't super expensive people, that's fine. Maybe you already have those?
- bequanna 5y agoI get what you are saying and appreciate it. But when you are in a position to hire and there is no apparent benefit to hiring someone who wants more money vs someone with the same skills and relevant experience, why would you hire the person who wants more money?
