Nope I remind them of their Dad.

Ok 30-40 is a stretch but the new hires 60-63 out last the 36 year olds.

Shocking how lazy 30-45 year olds are today. Fun fact when I am short staff I just do their job. I can bang out their 40 hours of work in 4-5 hours. I only keep the 30-50 year olds for window dressing, folks over 60 and under 30 are workers. I need more young people.

Foreign young people age even quicker. I had a few fresh off the boat Indian women in past fresh who were great. Way better than I ever was. But they got married young like 25 and whole parents or in-laws moving in, husnand is older wants kids right away by 28 they are pretty much past their prime work wise. Almost wish I could tell then go home we will hold your job till you are 55

My old boss said when ring goes on finger who got at most 3-5 years left out of them, sometimes less of older.

The stereotypes on this forum is amazing.

How hard is the job? Is it to do Excel spreadsheets or PowerPoint? Or you need someone to commit to put in decades of facetime? Hilarious.

Younger employees are like HR hemorrhoids. They’re not worth the time, effort and coddling. Do yourself a favor and hire recently released government employees in their late 20s or early 30s. It will save you a ton of trouble.

And a low IQ one at that.

Anyhow talking HR and succession planning with a women I work with and she suggested if we offered maternity leave and paternity leave it might make company more attractive younger people like her.

I almost spit up my coffee as women is 36 has two kids and thinking of having a third. In her mind she is young? Does she not keep track her own age?

One of my prior companies we had same issue and wanted to bring average age down. Most of management around 55.

To lower average age and bring in future leaders we started a formal internship program and brought in 20 interns each around 20 years old. Some took Job upon graduating and did it 3-4 years till we got 20-30 new employees aged 21-24.

Those are young people not her. And add to madness a 38 year old guy added I am getting married soon and yes paternity leave would be a perk to attract people my age. Dude you are 38.

Then to add to final insanity both in prior conversations said they like to retire around 55. The gen x and boomers in charge are like I will work till 65-70.

Do today’s 35-40 year old think they are young?

My first real job my SVPs and EVPs were 35-40, managers 25-34 and staff was 21-24. Yet in 2025 36 is younger.

Or maybe Covid threw their clocks back 5 years.

We’ve seen a COVID impact on our pipeline

Thirties is pretty young. Your sense of age is pretty skewed. Back in my parents' day, 50 was old and 65 was retirement age. I had kids in my 40's, was doing Iron Mans in my 50's, and at 60 I am at the top of my field and have no intention of retiring soon. A company full of 20-somethings sounds like a nightmare. And people today aren't having kids in their 20's, they're having them in their 30's, at least the educated ones.
