OTOH, after 3 years of retirement, I went back to work in July. It's a great family owned business, I've made the decision to make this my final landing spot...even if the FDIC were to call me back.
Advise your son that the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence.
Thanks! I will tell him that. He actually loves his job—except that he wishes he could be in the office, and do all that traveling that they normally would be doing (since he’s single, and his territory would normally include Hawaii).
His group was supposed to return to the office at the end of Jan but he’s worried that doesn’t look likely now. . .
I’m very sad for CA K-12, college, and young adults—they are missing out on a lot. I have 3 young adult children with jobs and NONE of them has ever worked in an office. Maybe they never will. But they long to. A hybrid solution would be good I think.
I worked in HR for a Tier-1 auto stamping plant. Back in the 70's and 80's our training dept. would go to jobs fairs hosted by colleges in an attempt to recruit grads into our management training program.
Typically they would be placed out in the shop as line supervisors.
From my viewpoint, that was a waste of time since the best supervisors were the hourly workers who actually worked production and were promoted to supervision.
They also have no sports, few fees, no PC nonsense. No forced diversity.
