frenchy Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 unless you have a government pension most people can't afford to retire anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwytohell Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 My oldest sister will be retiring from higher education this year, she has worked very hard to improve herself over the years to climb the ladder. She states with her pension + s.s. + investments her income will increase per month, plus never ever to be seen again gold plated health care. What was I thinking ?

Angry ginger Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 it's not a good thing, keeps many of hem from advancing and then it also takes away jobs on the lower end after seniors get PT jobs that once went to the young. I get it from an employers perspective, far less issues dealing with 60-70 year old part time employees who have nothing else to do and young ones with jobs and activities 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold War Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Well, that and the 40 + crowd doesn’t view a job as a hobby. If young dedicated hard working people were coming into the work force in droves, management couldn’t kick all these old folks to the curb fast enough. My wife just received a bunch of new hires, it is a joke what some consider reasonable work behavior. One girl went on 15 break between cases, figured she done enough for the day . So, she drove on home without saying anything. Another one called to say she would be late and didn’t bother to show until next day. College educated people, first week.

spin_dry Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Sounds like a big blame game. There’s plenty of jobs for everyone. There’s both old and young shit heads. I worked with mostly younger people. Never had an issue either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, very interesting statement coming from someone who self proclaimed, doesn't need money, yet may actually double dip taking a job from someone younger......good stuff.

J. Jackson Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Coming from an early 60 something my thing is that I like to work and I'm able to do it pretty well because of my experience and willingness to not just drop the ball in someone else's lap but to achieve the goal. I can mentally work circles around MOST millennials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard workers, great attitudes, don't complain (as much as others) good family men. I'd hire all Hispanics if I could but the language thing is an issue and they aren't very good at reading blueprints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
