Remind them that your experience is an asset to everyone in the room. To everyone in the building.
This one is a very good advice (and very hard to put in place); in the past I've played many roles while being employed as a system/backend developer for ex. basic team/project management, basic frontend code, basic sysadmin and so; every time I've left a company the old collegues always told me that they have had a hard time to fill the hole of the missing knowledge and workforce that I was giving to the team...but this, sadly, happens only after I've left.
Now I'm trying to setup my dev shop, I'll try to share my time between programming and teaching to younger people, it is a scary and exciting challenge:)
