That! but with a grain of salt.  Unopenness and the self proclaimed belief in one&#x27;s abiltities&#x2F;thoughts&#x2F;notions all based on &quot;I&#x27;m older, I&#x27;ve been there&quot; is the root of friction between young and older employees causing valuable loss of productivity in such homogenous groups.<p>Even more important tho and less of a subjective statement, I think most jobs today are menial in that technology offers a lot and the humans powering those jobs are really only doing a lot of rote stuff that can easily be taught.  In such an environment, is it a surprise to anybody that an employer would always wanted to dump seniority over a junior employee that costs less and is just as trainable?<p>Also in jobs requiring more than just rote menial production from the employee, quality of the service given has been lowered to a very low baseline.  With that again, experience is tossed out of the window and with it the costs that are associated paying for it.
