Ask anyone in the role of hiring and firing what age group they desire for skill, reliability and emotional stability.
Then ask them what age group they are avoiding.
Exactly. My mom is 66 and is still working-she puts in longer days and us more honest and productive than the much younger women in her office.
I’m still at it (age 69).
Centralized banking: a few living well off of the churn at everyone else’s expense.
That isn’t its flaw, it is its design.
Me too (age 74) ...if you call UBER a job.
At present “snowflake” still doesn’t have protected group status so I would certainly want to find ways to detect them and as a consequence actively discriminate against them.
I’m 61, and I figure I’ll work until I die, or get too sick to work. Started in the berry fields at 7.
I was going to write that. When I took a job at Barnes & Noble in 2011 due to the recession/depression, the most reliable workers were women over 50. Showed up on time, dressed appropriately, and no nonsense. Some of the kiddies who worked there were bizarre in the extreme.
They can be blamed, and with justification, for electing obama.
The rest is history.
Instead of spending trillions on the stimulus, they should have given a few million older workers a generous anuity if they would promise to take permanent retirement.
I retired in 2010 at 62.
Went to work for myself on my own farm.
The hours are a lot longer, the work is a lot harder, there are no breaks, there is no help, there are no paychecks, there is no boss but me.
I LOVE IT.
I put in a 14 to 16 hour day on average; but the fruits, vegetables, and meats of my labor belong to me.
I wish these f'ing experts would make up their minds about who's getting all the new jobs. Last I read, immigrants to America have gotten all new jobs created since just before Obama took office.
Can't these jerkwads get their lies straight?
WHAT JOBS!!!!!
Anti Brexit pointers for the first time in my experience advocated denying elders the vote, something I’ve been anticipating for many years. What is new is the prejudice against active elders. It was the long ago prediction that the pretext for their political disenfranchisement would be that retirees weren’t self supporting. In the event, elder prejudice is legal.
Like an old plow horse I will probably die in the harness.
Well done.
It was the baby boomers that largely drove the world’s debts to impossible amounts to pay back. There are consequences with that. If we weren’t paying so much in interest to service these debts, the economy could hold everybody.
I am looking forward to getting Social Security, not for income but as a tax cut.
Anything that brings in money from someone is a job. Am about to turn 76. Have two part-time employees who are 70. Smart, efficient and don’t waste time. Moved business to my house several years ago. Figure I can work as long as I can toddle down the hall to the office.
Everything cost more every year. Lots of us oldies have to continue working if we want to maintain our independence. Options are not anything I’m interested in. Better to wear out than rust out.
I think you're talking about the old leftist hippies who, like ticks, are now firmly buried within the bureaucracy...
