Dont be under any illusions with openreach, the new recruits are being brought in on inferior contracts to the existing engineers to lower the wage bill and change the t&c's by default. . They are pushing the older lads out the door as fast as they can and back filling with new recruits and cheap cowboy labour.
Not sure I agree with all of this. There are pay bands like any big company and the CSE role falls into a pay band so everyone is on similar money. So I'm not sure how your idea of batting off against the next man works. How exactly are older people being pushed out? I just don't see it myself.
