I keep on hearing this nonsense about 'cutting costs.'
The irony is most newbies are making the same, if not more, than the ppl who have been there 10+ years.
Also, it's the natural ebb and flow of life: out with the old, in with the new. One can only mitigate that by keeping up with skillset/technology. However, too many old-timers think their 'wisdom' and/or 'experience' should compensate for it. It doesn't.
They immediately become embittered and blame everyone but themselves when this is pointed out to them via lay-off.
Keep in mind, no old-timers built AWS, AZURE, NETFLIX, TWITTER, FB, etc.
It's a lot like acting, you are only as good as your last performance. No one gives a shieet about what you worked on 5 years ago.
Maybe a post that many won’t like, but it definitely tells the bitter truth. I reposted this from @Yxm0VWM-udw .
