Life/work time flexibility is greater than for working moms.

Good for working moms.

Coworkers

Job security? No such thing anymore. The company I started and was proud of no longer exists, and that's truly sad!

Opportunity for growth? Unless someone dies or is resourced for action, younger folks don't have an opportunity to get promoted.

No team cohesiveness. Tend to work on projects.

Remote team? Not being part of the main stream product team and its location tends to make the remote team feel insignificant in its drive and contributions to the whole product.

Management: Low-level managers are stuck with carrying out marching orders from above instead of developing and cross-training individuals.

Benefits are disappearing.

Share the wealth across the company and its workers.

Recognize that younger employees will be the future of the company. Quick laying off seasoned workers is not advisable. They are needed to pass the torch to younger ones!
