V.E. Makovsky Old Man (Tea Party)
Once he recommended his 47-year-old programmer friend to another younger acquaintance who worked as a minor boss in one successful company.
He said, "Not right away."
“You say he's a good specialist. I believe you. Because I know that you are a good specialist too. But I don't consider myself good. I can make stupid orders. And if any smart guy will object to me with arguments. Or, even worse, will other employees comment, then goodbye to any order. Can he still try to take my place? There should be one commander. And his orders are not negotiable. I can swear at my employee. Along the way, what is called in the working order. But I will not be able to scold someone who is almost as old as my father's. Those. this comrade will be uncontrollable for me. And how will he fit into our youth team? If I give him a salary less than the average, then he will not be respected; if more, they will envy and persecute. I need this? Although the salary level is secret, everyone will know. We have rush jobs when everyone works ten hours seven days a week.At this age he can not stand it. I need a trial why he had a stroke? How long can he sit on sick leave? Productivity decreases with age. Better inexperienced, but young. He's tighter. "
I didn’t know (and don’t know) what to say to this. Can someone tell me.
PS For me, there is no problem with employment, but my friends have it.
