Almost all of my friends and former coworkers over 40 in tech have been replaced over the last year... and these were top notch people. There is a big Gen X pushout underway. Hell, I used to write software for the friggin Space Shuttle and then was a manager for Flight Operations Technology (airline) with loads of performance rewards, and yet I was pushed out. They had to hire 2 h1-bs and a millennial to replace me. and it’s a huge mess over there now according to ex coworkers. Performance doesn’t matter in some places.
What are they doing now instead?
I have a degree in computer science but quit working to raise kids. Makes me think he should have been the one that stayed home with the kids.
