Hey V-Jet, if you've had 25+ years at QF, why don't you just suck it up, accept that the world has changed, be thankful you had a great career during the halcyon days of a protected era when profit didn't really matter, and get on with life? Or you could give yourself an ulcer and spread your misery anonymously over the internet. Another option would be to speak to some real people (those non-uni graduate employees of yours perhaps?) and see what they have to deal with just to get through life.
Whatever you choose, I hope you stay here. I love reading your stuff. It immerses me in perspective and reminds me what a glass half full guy I really am. And I'll never have the career you've had.
