I'll translate: "Age correlates with an unwillingness to be exploited and the experience to recognize when that's about to happen."

Our comp is above market.

And I would call it entitlement vs. “not wanting to be exploited”.

You don’t bring your needs to the market, you bring skills. The market pays you appropriately for those skills.

The market pays the least it can among the alternatives. If the younger were smarter, they wouldn't undercut the elder on price, and therefore maximize their value.
