Companies should encourage employees who work in a high position to leave
at the age of 55 in order to give opportunities to the new generation.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Model Answer:
I totally disagree with the idea of high-level employees leaving at the age
of 55 to make room for the upcoming generation. While it is true that the energy
level and fresh ideas of youth can rejuvenate a company, the steady hand of
experience can still best guide a company in most cases.
In English there is a saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” In
the fast-paced world of business, bolstered by even faster hi-tech innovations,
a younger more pliant mind would seem to be able to adapt with greater
flexibility, while such an environment might boggle an older more
set-in-its-ways mind. Take, for example, Microsoft’s Bill Gates, whose energy
and brilliant insights as a youth helped him to pioneer new territory in the
computer software world and establish a digital empire. Now as a more mature
CEO, this king of the “computer” mountain is constantly on the verge of being
knocked down by upcoming digeratti entrepreneurs. However, it is now the
experience he has accumulated as an older man which keeps him on top. So,
combining the vigour and innovation of younger workers with the experience of
older workers would seem to be the winning hand in the world of business.
The assertion is to give opportunities to the younger generation. If
everyone retires at 55, there will be smaller pool of experience at the company.
So, who will show them the ropes of the trade? It would be as if we lopped off
the last few chapters of a textbook. On this point the argument would seem to be
built on false presumptions.
And think of all the other problems retirement at 55 would create. With
life expectancy in many advanced nations at 70-plus years, how would the state
along with private enterprises be able to support their retirement pensions? The
economic repercussions of such an idea could be great.
Besides, the Western form of capitalism is built on competition and merit
and not seniority according to age, and democracy is built on equality for all
regardless of one’s age, so the argument clearly goes against these two pillars
of Western society.
Granted, my counter-arguments are perhaps as simplistic as the original
assertion itself, but without qualifying the assertion with greater supporting
evidence or background information, both sides can be argued. Nevertheless, even
after thoroughly considering the argument, I believe I would still adhere to my
viewpoint that the assertion lacks merit for the aforementioned reasons.
Besides, when I am 55 I do not fancy the idea of being put out to pasture. I
think I will still be full of vitality and have a desire to work, so I hope my
workplace will view me as a treasure house of valuable experience to pass along
to the next generation and keep me on until I am at least 65 if not older.
