, “and replace them with cheap, desperate kids who will put up with anything.”
Not to mention H1b visa holders who will take what the bosses dish out and be grateful for it
I don’t know, this is definitely possible but the “kids” that have come through our place are horrible.
Unmotivated, lazy and quite honestly stupid.
At least in my industry I do not see a very capable group of younger people.
Exactly, but this has been going on for a long time. My husband was laid off from a major corporation when he was in his late fifties. Many other older workers were laid off, too, but they laid off enough younger employees to give them cover.
We managed over the next several years, but I get ticked off when the talking heads start blabbing about raising the retirement age. It’s difficult to find another job if you are in your fifties and sixties.
Hey, I could save Social Security tomorrow by making the retirement age 103. How does that sound to everyone?
I fear the coming rebuttal Boomers are going to get from us Millennials will be great and terrible.
Well there was a fresh batch of 600,00 h1bs a couple of months ago.. and now all those african immigrants who are more educated than your sons and daughts.. at least according to trump. But i guess he gets a free pass on thay also.
Wishful thinking, boy. Many employers now prefer the older job candidates who are able. :)
From where, India? American kids aren't desperate, from what I've seen. Maybe their parents are desperate to get them off the couch, but...

None of the indoctrinated Marxist millenneals want to work today, especially when they are getting $1000 extended unemployment checks and $1200 tax rebate checks. They want everything free so they have all this free time to “get down with the Revolution”
By the way, anyone ever hear that John Lennon song Revolution? This is the guy whose song “Imagine” the Marxists always praise as their national anthem, yet I heard that song “Revolution” today on the radio and the lyrics are completely anti-leftist. He sings count me out if you are into destruction and violence and count me out if you are into hate, and if you are into communism and Chairman Mao you are a loser. Wow! The King of the hippies is not down with the Revolution
No... Not Me...
They told me just a couple of months ago that I was “essential!”
It’s been going on for a long time. Enough so that companies have to issue an age report with layoffs. They’ll sacrifice enough youngins to make the percentages squeak by.
There's a recipe for a real Revolution.
Perhaps it might be worthy to remind the younger workers out there:
Baby Boom stopped in 1965. Gen X starts then.
The youngest boomers are now 55 so this impacts Gen X, too. Don’t worry millennials, your time is coming.
As a famous epitaph once said, “Oh ye mortal man, where you stand now I once stood. Where I am now, you shall be.”
It all depends on the older worker. Trump the older worker would be hired by the country in a heartbeat and given lifetime employment with perks, if that were possible. Biden the older worker is of the type who would be laid off at the first opportunity. 47 years on the job and nothing to show for it. In the end it’s not your age but the value, productivity and attitude you bring to your organization.
Mitch & company are (mostly) horrible people, not to mention I trust his Chinese wife and her father (he gave Mitch & her a $20 million dollar "loan") as far as I can throw them.

Have fun racing the rats, kids. I’m going to the beach!
“cheap, desperate kids who will put up with anything.”
and who know very little about anything, but are exceptionally well versed in lying about everything to try to cover their ignorance ..
I’ll be 70 next year, and I retired four years ago. I’m glad I have all that behind me.
I have more confidence in business owners, particularly small business owners; and they employ the majority of Americans. If you work for some faceless corporate bureaucracy, then all bets are off. The larger an organization is the more insanely stupid the organization is. I find it amazing that those businesses survive in spite of themselves.
I’ve been waiting for them to offer me an incentive to retire, but they just won’t....
