These old guys won't retire, and they keep holding onto resources. Anyone wanting a promotion is just dreaming.
What's scarier is, even if these old guys retire, why would they give the resources to these young people they barely know?
They have kids, and instead of giving to outsiders, why not keep it in the family?
Even if they don't have kids, maybe they're into not getting married, but they have relatives and friends. Favoring logic over relationships doesn't have a chance in reality.
The current job environment is getting tougher. On one hand, it's the worsening economic situation, and on the other, it's the upper-level cake that can't be divided.
Whether it's creating new positions and industries to increase resources, or dividing the upper-level cake to reallocate, neither is possible at this stage.
As a result, the path for ordinary people to advance is narrowing, and the pressure is increasing.
