At my work there is about 4-5 of us that all started within the last 2-4 years, we're all between the ages of 25-30. There is also about 4-5 people that have been in this job for about 10-15 years. I find that the people may age are always talking about promotion, looking for other opportunities, guessing who will get promoted where when someone senior moves on. I also find that other 4-5 who are much older pay no attention to this and are quite happy with their jobs. We're all very good at our jobs and we all work well together, but it seems the older folks have no interest in moving anywhere.
I've heard this is a generational things, that older generations aspired to stable employment with good work-life balance, whereas my generation is always looking for something new and to move up in an organization, change fields, etc.
Do you find this to be true in your workplace?
