staring at clouds

so looking at recent stories on Silicon.Com they've looked at university graduates and pleaded for more to take up IT to fill the skills gap they say is there

they've bemoaned the lack of skills in depth in the immigrant workforce and asked for immigration filters so only those with the required skills are allowed in the country

now they want women to fill this non existent skills gap

it's a list of industry prejudice in order of acceptability when you think about it,
"oh we'll have a graduate they don't need paying much, failing that we'll have an immigrant, bit more expensive though and failing that I suppose we'll have to settle for a woman..."

and by all means they should keep looking everywhere except at the older generation we'll still be here when they run out of options, we'll still have the skills they need in depth and we'll still be ignored because they think we are past it
