“There is no ageism, because you could work for free or at a loss!”
- stavros 2y agoNo but it's a good question. Is it "out of two candidates with similar experience and salary requirements, companies will usually hire the younger one", or is it "companies don't want expensive experienced people because cheaper, less-experienced people are good enough"?
- mopenstein 2y agoThank you. Others took it so personally. Your observation is spot on.
- stavros 2y agoNo problem, I have the same question. I'd like to know if it's "old people can't be good at the job" or "we can't afford experienced people". In my experience, it's more the latter.
- therealdrag0 2y agoOld people can be good. But young people are more likely to be hungry/ambitious and take ownership, which (at least has the appearance of) produces more/better outcomes.
