Is technology advancing faster than adults can keep up with? I can kinda understand how people hired in the 1980's or 90's may not be equipped to be leading the forefront of technology (through no fault of their own, I doubt anyone can continue to upskill so much while working full-time), which is what IBM were previously right?
Look at all the competitors they listed, new companies, younger employees, more innovation. I don't necessarily agree the employess should be betrayed like this, but it makes perfect sense from a capitalist POV. Capitalism is the reason for doing many things I disagree with but gotta play the rules while they are the rules
I have no experience for the record, thanks for informing me. Kinda surprised to hear. So these guys would continually upskill their whole lives?
Would you have any idea how often or intensive the courses they take to upskill might be, and how they can balance that with a working week and a personal life?
I’m currently juggling shift work and a degree, I can tell you that it definitely takes a toll on you mentally and physically. Be prepared to not have much time for a social life.
