With so many people retiring those in their 40s are doomed. No more near retirement employees to take the bottom of the rank group to protect the younger employees.

Between PIPs and early retirements, and the increased offshoring and outsourcing, it's gonna get worse for anyone who stays.

@bw Well, I'm really not sure. I hear these guys making disparaging remarks about me and my generation all the time. They keep calling us Boomers, even though I was born in the '70s. The problem is, I can't even tell how old these guys are. A lot of them have premature balding, so they could be in their 20s, but they look 40-ish. I'm really having a hard time figuring it out. Meanwhile, I look around at my older colleagues and think, wow, we look good! I don't know how, but we still look like we're in our 30s. And then I look at these other guys, who might actually be in their 20s, 30s, or 40s. I have no idea. They all look about the same age to me!
The only thing that gives away their youth is their arrogance and the disparaging remarks about "Boomers." So maybe it is the 30-something crowd. I honestly don't know anymore. I just wish we could all get along and stop insulting each other all the time.
@ad not sure who you are spending time with but I haven’t seen that from the 40’a crowd. It is the younger people who rail on boomers and GenX not those in their 40’s
Funny how the 40-something crowd are the loudest complainers about getting rid of older employees... because they're supposedly slowing everybody down.
Splendid, now they get to inherit their responsibilities AND their place on the bell curve. Congratulations on your promotion to the bottom third!
Good let’s get this over with
