Why are there so many boomers still holding high positions in mining?

A lot of young people with degrees are struggling to break into the system. Stating you need 4 years experience for an entry position is beyond ridiculous. Also a lot of older people aren't qualified either and aren't even contributing new ideas beneficial to projects. I know because I worked for a few.Alot of them spend most of their time doing office gossip and talking about going to the "Islands" in a couple of months Can you please get off the porch and retire so some of our friends can start working? You made enough money now bounce!

Sincerely,

Frustrated Millennial.
