Older workers cost more and usually have less energy and don't always do as they are told. Since the bank does not take any calculated risks at expanding the business anymore, expertise is not really important any more and so the menial activities are probably best done by the inexperience young workers fresh out of college and preferably of a diverse background.

Older workers still do better - never mind less energy (plenty of younger folk dragging around).. Better than no brain or skill or intention to acquire any. Let me tell u about some of the new “techies”. More like people with no interest in technology or working for that matter. They are told there are money to be made in the field and all you need is a degree - pay for one if you have to. Then come the recruiting companies playing both sides for profit. Nepotism is prevalent. Connections are everything. The interviews are rigged. People care only for their “community” - whatever that means - collaborating or team work extends only to potlucks, walks, socialising the internet deals, kids and new cars/house bragging. Less work and more faking it.
