It used to be companies preferred younger workers, so the older ones were discriminated against. They are even some laws against age discrimination.

But now, the old guys are in big demand. They are the only ones who know how to work. The younger the workers, the less job they are doing. The gen-X’ers are not performing at all, but they are really skillful in all kind of demands.
So the age discrimination is now inverted.

Oh good. I can work til I die now?

I’m not understanding what you are saying.

Gen X is around ages 44-59.

Are you confusing gen X with millennials or gen Z?

REAL JOBS & PARTICIPATION TROPHIES ARE NOT A GOOD MATCH.

I NEVER interviewed for job other than IN PERSON.

around here the main problem is not a lack of opportunity,
but that
boys do not want to become men

I have been looking for different work since March. Getting around the automated tracking system has been difficult, and having a nontraditional career path hasn’t helped. I would agree that the actual job market, at least for good jobs, has tightened considerably.

Please stop saying that. You were laid off during the LOCKDOWN.

Import/Export of latex goods may be a good career move. Just stay away from the Kung Pao. It might make you look guilty if they question you about something.

I’ve been trying to get into vandalay industries since forever.

As a latex salesman?

#5 I was at a Ralphs grocery store today and overheard 2 young guy employees talking about high school. One said he had a 4.0 grade point average the last year.

Yet he is working a part time job at the store.

Sad but true, the large corporation I work for does it all the time, ads to look good and to pool possible diversity hires in the future but no job openings. Right now tech is really cutting back for any entry level positions-and when they do come open they are calling for 2 to 5 years experience

[AZJeep]

Yes,
I am too old to follow all those generations.
