In all my years working in software, I have only had 2 colleagues with white hair. It is clear there are many older engineers out there that are having a hard time getting a job. Whatever is going on, it's clear there's a system in place to remove the older guys.
Then, breaking news: HR fucking sucks everywhere. That's the whole idea of HR in the first place. It's a legal shield for the company, it has nothing to do with improving people's lives.
All fucking HR surveys have the objective of removing unhappy employees and are not anonymous, talking to HR about a problem is another way in which unsatisfied employees get detected and kicked out of companies. HR fucking sucks.
