A lot of these so-called retirements were forced on people. Ageism became a real issue in the jobs market in the past 20 years, and a lot workers in their 50s and early 60s were phased out of the job market and pretty much blocked from other jobs within their career field.

On the other hand, a lot of ‘em went back to work as consultants and contractors, at more pay than when they worked full time for The Company. ROFL

And a lot of them overstayed their welcome and were able to deny opportunities to more qualified younger folks.

I was phased out for being too successful and making too much money. I’m done with them and much better off on my own. They’ve since sold out to Chevron

Directly related to the decrease in quality of corporate America and small business service and outcomes.
