"No country for old" is a film name. I didn't like that film after seeing it. It is so strange for me that I could not catch its point.
The word "No country for old" was back to my mind when I heard that two German sites of our company would be closed in the first quarter of next year. Our company was split from the mother company last year. Then it was merged to another company in August this year. Just a few days after the merge finished, it was announced that the merged company would be merged to another company-- the result would be the unique wireless related semiconductor company of Europe in near future. Do you think it is exciting? Sorry, I don't think so. It means that lots of employee will loss their jobs and cannot find a new job -- there is almost no other choice in European wireless industry for who was laid off by the company.
Not only in Europe but also in world wide, there are less and less companies in wireless communication industry. And fresh graduate students rush in wireless communication area every year. They learned latest technology and requested less salary.
There is no country for old.
