2 Roger Wilson has been an estimator for 20 years. He’s good at his job, reliable, and has been a good mentor for the younger employees. Recently, Roger applied for a new position as a lead estimator responsible for organizing the effort for new bids and assigning tasks to several junior estimators. One afternoon, Roger accidentally overhears two managers talking about how they need to promote more “younger” people because they have more energy and drive, fewer health issues, and aren’t thinking about retirement. Roger is worried that he will get passed over for promotion because of his age.
