Do you have a future?



How to determine if you have a future with a prospective employer.


1. Find out when the company was started. What is Company Age?
2. Find out the average Worker Age of the employees. Look at a group photo.
    average Worker Age = (average Employee Age - 20 years)
3. If there are few employees that are of an appropriate age to have worked for
    the company from the beginning then you have no future with that company.
    They will eventually replace you with a young college graduate.

Company Age > 2* (average Worker Age ) = No future


This is actually a pretty good algorithm.

 In English terms: Working age = Employee Age minus twenty years. If the average Working Age of the employees is less than half the Company Age, then you have no future. If the average Working Age is less than half the Company Age, you know there is planned attrition and firing of older workers to hire younger ones. You have no future with that company.

 So Remember:

 Company Age > 2* (average Worker Age) = No future
