My brother worked for CITI for 29 years. Handled large projects at the VP level...DUMPED at 55. Told him it was coming 2 yrs ago because that’s the way they roll today.
And lots of luck finding another high paying salaryman position after age 50.
It could have been worse. Not only did I get to help hire my replacement, I got a few veiled threats about my severance package if I didn’t also train the guy.
And, except for maybe a couple nibbles shortly after leaving that job, I heard nothing but crickets in response to my numerous job applications. I finally gave up looking after about a year.
Just finished some training for some gig work I’m doing now, and they talked about age discrimination and all the phoney baloney laws enacted to make it illegal. Luckily for them the training was online, so they didn’t have to listen to me throwing the BS flag on that stuff!
