I think I agree, I used to see a lot of highly experienced older contractors who probably had FU money. They had far more experience than any of the leadership and were normally older and would not hold back. This was especially when working with Java/C++ but now even C# and JavaScript obviously have people with ~25yrs of experience working with people with <5 years who could really do with the support. I've seen people like this get dragged out of the building or just walk out and happily start somewhere else the next week due to demand.
