Re: Too old?

[Dick Margulis <margulisd -at- comcast -dot- net>]

At a software startup where I worked, there was a series of layoffs as 
the financial condition of the company deteriorated. In every round, the 
oldest one or two people were let go, and the mean age of the people let 
go was slightly higher than the mean age of the people retained. The 
company was careful to keep the difference small, so they could 
attribute it to the small sample size; but the trend was clear. When I 
was the oldest, it was bye-bye, Dick.
