Dinosaurs maybe. I’ll be 57 in a few weeks. Millennials bring a sense of entitlement and upgraded excel formatting skills. They’re unprofessional, have limited social skills and always leave when they don’t get the promotion they wanted. And the dinosaurs clean up the mess you leave behind
I would agree there is ageism against older employees. I was laid off a few months ago. I’m in my late 50s. I was nearly the oldest person in the dept at the time of layoff. But when our dept was twice as large 4-5 years ago, I was somewhere in the middle. When I confronted my vp about him laying off only older people about two years ago, he commented that all his choices were approved by HR and Legal. In further conversation, my vp added that he felt older employees didn’t want to learn new skills or cross train. Couldn’t believe the blatant ageism coming from him (and it seeming to be company strategy). So when I got laid off, I took the guidance of the company during the layoff outbriefing and had an attorney check over my BNYM SUB pay document. I learned from the attorney that while BNYM’s behavior could be considered ageist, there’s not much legal recourse because the length/amount of SUB pay and BNYM paying for my medical/dental is as good or better than any judgement they could win for me. Rather than risk losing the BNYM offered benefits in an uncertain suit, they recommended I take the SUB pay.
So basically BNYM is being consciously ageist. BNYM is covering their as--s by paying each laid off employee as if the the bank lost in court.
Older employees stay. Younger employees leave. I’d invest in my older employees, although younger employees are cheap.
Tadpole description fits the young generation at BNYM perfectly...
Sometimes frog and toad tadpoles have a genetic abnormality which means that they will remain as tadpoles for their whole lives.
Though seemingly docile creatures, tadpoles can get snippy when hungry, and sometimes end up eating each other when the stakes are high. Now, new research suggests that the tiny creatures are not ruthless cannibals, but rather only eat their pond-mates when resources are scarce.
always entertaining to read comments from the tadpoles
Soon, there will no longer be issues with age discrimination. All the younger and talented employees have escaped to save themselves from the senior bullies.
Only dinosaurs left - bring it on, JPM takeover!
And you’re old enough to be offended.. lol
Well there’s Todd, he’s helping with the average age. Is he 100 or older ?
There is always going to be intergenerational gap in this organization.Most people at the top are senior most Employees but there attitude towards Millenials are different.Personal observation that they try to control millenials like a factory model. The same thing may have happened in the past with a 236 year old history and all 3 generations working in a company Grandparents,Parents and children.
Judging by how unclear this post is, I'd say you're old enough to be senile.
