I'm old enough to have heard the "I started at X and it took me Y years to make Z blah blah blah" enough times that I immediately think geezus give it a rest already (probably walked uphill in the snow, both ways, to school too).?ÿ So what if workers today are more aggressive about getting paid than you were??ÿ Maybe they're not buying the scam of 'work cheap for me today and I'll get you back in 25 years'??ÿ Maybe the labor market today is a hell of a lot more lively today than it was 50 years ago??ÿ Maybe your expectations have failed to evolve with the times?
Stuff like this just reeks of the old man shaking a fist at the world because they can't wrap their head around the idea that things change.?ÿ If some highschool greenhorn responds to your ad and asks for 70K a year then feel free to tell them to pound sand.?ÿ What does it matter to you that there are people out there doing this??ÿ You're experienced, right??ÿ You know better, right??ÿ Let these job seekers that you apparently think are delusional learn that lesson the hard way.
