    FTE #1: What is our strategy for an aging workforce?

    FTE #2: We're changing work practices to appeal to a scarce number of young workers in ways that alienate the expanding number of mature workers.

    FTE #1: Doesn't that seem wrong?

    FTE #2: Yes, until you remember that mature workers are only still working to feed the young until they find a job and move out.
