where does that number come from? and i cant imagine it applies equally across industries if it is true. 50% of software related job cant be 5 years to retirement?

It’s BS through and through.

Covid led in the most early retirement ever seen. We’re are not expecting a spike in retirement by any measure that I have seen.

Yeah that’s fair, I didn’t do any research on behalf of the author, and they didn’t cite any sources.

I do think that there a lot of baby boomers hanging out in the workforce still, Covid just pushed the RIP (retired in place) people over the edge.

Reflecting on my place of employment though, I can only come up with a handful of people planning to retire in the next year.

We also fired a lot of them recently, so there’s that.
