Good, more jobs for us semi-retired people who show up for work on time and have not got their noses stuck permanently in their Iphones. More productivity for the companies that hire us.

The problem with that scenario is that a thirty-something year old manager is going to regard you as a threat and not want to hire you. A major driver of age discrimination IMHO.

That and the disgusting display of a strong work ethic.

Milli's hate that.

Yep, I stayed in a job I hated up until a few months ago as the majority of the companies subtly made it clear I was too old, knowledgeable, and had been far too successful in my field to stay at the level I wanted to-—”why haven’t you moved up to VP, C___, etc...and didn’t buy the “I have a family and being going more than 50% of the time is not an option for me response.

Out of the blue an old acquaintance called me up, told me about a position he needed to fill and within a week had a new job that I absolutely love-—and where there are very few people under 45 years old.

Ironically, our biggest customers and targets won’t give the time of day to these younger folks who don’t have decades of experience and have just been trained to say certain things and give certain responses.
