The longer they're around, the higher the return on investment (in theory) which is why I don't understand the rush to early retire employees. A typical misread is that replacing the older, higher-paid employee with a younger cheaper hire is cost-effective but that ignores the tremendous value of experience. At the same time, I have seen older employees that stop making an effort to keep current which in turn drops their value but not their salary...

Dan Let me go on record saying I have no sympathy for most major organizations that are trying to let go of older workers because they’re “too expensive”.

They are digging their own grave and can’t see it.

I’ve talked to some excellent candidates who couldn’t get on at a company because they’re over 50. In essence, they’re saying, “Yeah – that 30 years of experience is great and all, but we’re looking for someone who could screw up on a grand scale…”

The massive retirement boom coming is going to drive a whole different employment industry and will spur so much technological innovation that I can’t wait for it to start.
