[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't worry about Gen X.  We are a small cohort.  Though we will probably work a long time.

I'm a hiring manager, and my current viewpoint is that I don't want to hire anyone under age 40. [b] I'm so sick of inexperience and entitlement.  [/b][/quote]

Care to explain this a bit?

Other perspective: it seems like employers are not really interested in training younger candidates. They want someone to "hit the ground running."

And what do you mean by entitlement?

I don't think lack of experience is necessarily a bad thing, but I guess it depends on your industry. Some "experienced" people are very set in their old ways of working... and they don't want to use data/technology.[/quote]

DP but the “motive new staff “ thread below is a prime example. It’s about how new people are put off by a 90 day in person requirement during probation. A time when they are getting TRAINED and getting to know the staff and procedures and having a mentor on hand for feedback and questions. The need for that being in person shouldn’t need to be explained. Ones the newbies have proved themselves to be competent, reliable and self motivated then they can WFH but not before that. [/quote]
