Companies need to figure out how to keep the retiring around, a few days a week part time. There is a wealth of experience that gets lost . Companies are all in on AI but they're happy to let their pretrainined business domain finetuned trillion parameter models walk out the door.
- ghaff 3y agoAgeism is a thing. But most people want to wind down at some point. And that business domain knowledge probably leaks away over time. Certainly part-time work can be a thing. But to the degree it requires working together with other people it can be hard to manage, especially for a semi-retired person that wants to go on multi-week vacations.
- lolinder 3y ago> Ageism is a thing. But ... that business domain knowledge probably leaks away over time. This is ageism. A 66 year old hasn't lost their business knowledge yet, but they're often treated as though they're already senile.
- ghaff 3y agoI think you may have misunderstood me. It's not an age-related thing. If I only spend a day or so a week working in a domain, I am going to become less familiar with that domain as things change over time. It's certainly happened to me as my roles have shifted. Doesn't mean I forget everything about a space but I'm certainly less current if I spend 1 day per week than if I spend 5 days.
