    This just in: young professionals of any background without much industry experience are cheaper than their older counterparts who are busy drawing pensions.

    These fucking guys. They all follow the same stupid fucking playbook but when it finally bites one of them in the ass, it is a bridge too far.

    This is really about young people, even executives, being cheaper to pay than their counterparts who have decades of experience.

    This is as old as age discrimination itself. These guys did this to themselves. They set the rules of the game, but are angry when the rules end up applying to them.

    More Boomers and Gen Xers just acting out the whole “rules for thee but not for me” schtick.
