I agree that ageism is a major factor. But is there really a shortage of staff in the UK?
My US company gave voluntary redundancy to 1,000 staff last year. Many found jobs or retired early, but anecdotal evidence says that age is a major limiting factor in getting even considered for a job, unless you know someone.
With all the security failures, maybe experienced staff could bridge the gap to users from techies.
