Richard Hollowayrichardjh@phpc.socialJul 1, 2026, 10:13 PM@fencepost @GossiTheDog when I was 40 I joined a company with about 150 staff. Turned out I was the oldest employee. I commented that "It's like Logan's Run here" and no one knew what I was talking about because none of them were old enough to have seen it!
I felt old that day.

@richardjh @GossiTheDog does it help that this year is the 50th anniversary of the film?

@fencepost @GossiTheDog I did not know that. *checks Wikipedia* holy shit, I'm only just younger than that film! Every day is a school day.

It seems like the new organization structure is that all the workers are in their 20s, and all the CEOs/Presidents are in their 80s.

@number6 @fencepost @GossiTheDog a company I contract to now is around mid 20s to mid 70s, there are only nine of us and it is the best team I have ever worked with. But I know that is rare.
