The main value that the experienced employees have over the younger is their relationships with senior management. The ability to bypass the young managers and go directly to a VP or even Dallas. Many of us older professionals mentored our current senior management and we survive layoffs because MANAGEMENT TRUSTS US. We delivered during the dark days of Valdez and we carried the load during past downturns and we survived many workforce reductions and reorganizations. I cannot tell you how many times I have been called directly to see if a manager gave the right explanation. The younger folks do not have the relationships ....yet. They will allow us to retire when WE WANT. Many of us give feedback to senior leadership on our own bosses.
