They never tell you why you got the TBNT letter, it could have been anything.

I am just saying what I would do.
When they are getting close to 50% of hires who are guaranteed to be older right now because they have been stuck at Eagle for 12+ years.
The guys leaving Eagle to flow right now are almost all 45-55, which will become eventually 35-45.
If I was HR I would want to balance out that demographic with younger off the street guys to minimize a future retirement crunch.
I could be totally wrong, just speculating based on my twisted view of things.
