My husband - a boomer - has also found that young employees (let’s say late 20s) are amazingly uppity - writing memos to the head of the company, demanding people they don’t like to be fired, and hacking into other employees’ email accounts. They also cannot write letters! He’s fed up with them.
I am currently looking to hire a mid and senior developer. The resumes I have gotten are atrocious. Misspelling, bad grammar, and no punctuation. Seriously they read like a text message. Everyone of them is from a 30 or younger person with a laundry list of skill attributes and an average of 2-3 jobs in 2-3 years. Most of their claimed skill set is open source crap.
The two I have gotten from someone over 40-45 were well written, have a more reasonable limited (truthful) skill set and they have only had 1-3 jobs in 10-15 years.
