It's short sighted. Eventually the seniors will retire and die off. It very much feels like 'we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas'.

- nickff 2y agoMost companies are trying to hire people with more than 2-4 years of experience, but not 0-2 years of experience. They are far from losing all candidates to death or retirement.
- throwaway48476 2y agoIf no one hires 0-2 how many 2-4 will there be?
- nickff 2y agoThat’s definitely a problem right now, but it’s still not worth hiring people just to train them and have them leave. I think this one of the reasons for the popularity of H1B, as this new normal isn’t worldwide yet.
- throwaway48476 2y agoThat's why I said they tried nothing and are out of ideas.
- nickff 2y agoThe problem is that labor laws and practical considerations make it so that most other options are infeasible and/or illegal. Business model innovation in employment is basically illegal. Professional sports take interesting and varied approaches to the subject, but even they are facing challenges (see ‘free transfers’ in the European football market).
- throwaway48476 2y agoThis is just excusing a complete lack of creativity. If they won't adapt they deserve to fail.
- bdangubic 2y agoseniors will retire or die off is what is short-sighted. I have been a senior for the past 10 years and am planning on hacking another 10-15, don’t need money any longer, just love what I do. 60% of just my team is the same (give or take few years)
