we don't want to filter out, but manage.
- andrei_says_ 9y agoCould you define “manage” in more detail and possibly provide an example? Right now this is very vague and it sounds like you’re facing an immovable obstacle.
- partisan 9y agoOld age is not something to be managed. People are old, not by choice, but by natural processes that no one can control. You will be old one day and hopefully no one will see that as something that has to be managed, but if we feed into this negative trend then it is likely you will be seen in that same light. In the meantime, make a positive move away from ageism and remove that attribute from your mental profile of employees who requirement more management than others.
- Someone 9y agoYour question implicitly suggests that you wouldn’t have problems managing young, unmotivated, change resisting programmers. If so, do you think there is an innate difference between old unmotivated, change resisting programmers and young unmotivated, change resisting ones, or could your attitude towards the two groups be different?
- muzani 9y agoYoung people generally don't resist change because change benefits them. People who have invested 5 years into an obsolete skillset are most resistant to change.
