IT faces a demographic timebomb as older employees approach retirement

Quick Summary:

A new report shows that more senior employees are bearing a heavy burden, with IT professionals who have more than 10 years of experience and the Baby Boomer generation experiencing the longest work weeks.

The study from Auvik also shows a generational disparity in the workload is rapidly exacerbating issues around burnout, since as many as 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 65 and retire every single day between now and 2030, leaving even more work for remaining IT employees.

This enthusiasm isn't shared by management, however, 20-24 percent of respondents are not satisfied with the current incorporation of AI policy.
