If what they want is inexpensive, and they figure hiring younger less qualified workers is the way to get less expensive, then that's not age discrimination, it's ... what would you call it? Salary discrimination, I suppose. Nothing immoral there, though it may prove more expensive in the long run. I say "may", because I've assiduously avoided management positions and don't have a feel for how to make a profit.

I learned that long ago when I was told my the DP manager we would not be upgrading CICS to the supported level because it would increase the budget and decrease his bonus. It's all about the money going to them. Well, I imagine there might be exceptions. --- On Sun, Mar 20, 2022, 11:35 Roger W Suhr <[email protected]> wrote: > I think people in the US would be available.
