This is a surprise, said no one ever.

Sometimes companies will pay for experience but often they'll hire someone younger who screws up more because they cost less.

They might think it costs less, but I argue that's misleading. You need to factor in the mistakes, the longer training, slower adaptation, inefficiency, and a client's growing dissatisfaction with the product because of it all.

[free2rhyme214]

I don't think it's misleading. Companies know mistakes cost money and experience doesn't always associate with better productivity.

Most companies don't have a inkling of how to actually measure productivity.

To be fair, neither do most employees. It's a hard problem.
