  1.  @tobystamps2920  We actually had teachers now you have an awful lot of activists and masquerading as teachers and the union protecting their jobs just encourages incompetence.

  5. ​ @paulinemoira8442 the rights that the government owes you have nothing to do with money or paying your bills. That's your job if you are an able-bodied adult.

  6. ​ @jamesbarbour8400 what really amuses me is that they think they're going to be able to have the standard of living that they're used to in a world where the dominant factor in the workforce and work half as hard as the generations before them. I'm old enough where I hope that I'll be dead before they completely destroy everything.

  7. ​ @Chewie316 I watch that happen to a lot of my friends And colleagues who lost their jobs in their fifties.

  8. ​ @thac0twenty377 you are completely wrong and that's a silly attitude. Your company is going to pay you what it takes to get people of sufficient quality to do the work that needs to be done. Supporting yourself is your responsibility. The company is not your uncle

  9. ​ @user-br5ps nothing you have to get a job and pay your own way. You have no clue what writes really mean. Nothing is right that requires anybody to give you their money.

  14. ​ @BoxOfCurryos I don't believe a word you just said. I repeat I would not hire you to mow my lawn

  15. ​ @wlonsdale1 of course that's why you see a lot of older people doing jobs that kids used to get hired for.
    2
  16. ​ @bpuryea that however is not typical. I saw a lot of people who lost their jobs after 50 never get a job remotely as good again. I myself was able to get a new job in my mid-50s but again that was not the typical experience

  17.  @msk3905  antidotal evidence doesn't change the statistics. I was able to land a great job in my mid-50s as well but I know an awful lot of people both professionally and personally who were not. As a member of management I also read the literature
    2
  18.  @vaderladyl  couldn't care less I know the actual statistics and read the literature. I was hiring people since you were a child. What makes me so pretentious is a lifelong history of being right almost 100% of the time.

  19.  @irkenempire2849  I just reread your post and you use the word ignorant to describe me! LOL. I have multiple degrees, im a health insurance actuary, a corporate strategist, builder and leader of elite teams and departments full of scary smart analytical people and I'm extremely well read. Statistically speaking the odds that you are even remotely close to my league intellectually are awfully close to zero.

  23. ​ @carloko08 January 6th is a real nothing Burger special compared to the left-wing mobs destroying cities looting stores and attacking people. By the way I'm an older guy which means, something young people don't seem to undersand, that I'm a former young person. Post my friends in college had very little idea about what was going on politically that's not anything new. That's why even though it meant that I could vote at a younger age I did not believe that lowering the voting age from 21 to 18 what's a good idea. Most 19 year olds are barely confident to warm up Franks and beans and you're expecting them to be conversant in political issues

  25.  @matejmotuz108  thank you for announcing you don't understand a freaking thing. He's not there to be your friend he's there to be your boss and you producing results is something you could just take for granted with generations before you special ones. Diamond bother trying to argue with me I was in charge at various levels for a long long time. You would not have made it with that attitude

  27. @kriswhite91  you act as if I don't know a lot about education and know a lot of teachers and ex teachers. They are part of the problem now I don't mean all of them I think great teachers are a wonderful resource but there is a lot of mediocrity and there's an awful lot of political BS.

  34. ​ @harekokeel1937 that's a fact but my observation is (and I have a lot of experience with hiring and leading people) that if you lose your job after 50 many people are never able to replace that job with anything as well paying as the one they lost. I was lucky I was able to change jobs in my middle 50s but I had a particular set of skills that were in demand

  47.  @msk3905  I too was able to land a very good big job in my mid fifties but I was in management and a hiring manager for many many years and your friends and my experience are not typical of what I saw. Way too many employees in their 50s who were let go never achieved another position as good as the one they left. The company I worked for for a long time had let themselves get very bloated, not my area (which is 100% Senior Management s fault) and had 10 consecutive years of layoffs, 2 rounds one year. For the first 5 years it was the obvious Deadwood that should have been let go before but then it began to be people who were pretty good to very good but for various reasons had become someone they could live without. The worst thing was at this time I had an Actuarial team working for me and had the budget department as well and I would see the names in advance. Some of them people that I had worked with for over 20 years and of course I couldn't tell them. Man I hated that. Also among my friends outside of work there were some who fell into the same situation after 50. It's easier to replace a good job after 50 if you're at a higher level however

  48.  @irkenempire2849  stopped reading when you started talking about my red flags as a boss. I retaind my employees for about twice the corporate average and had employees who left went someplace else and came back to work for me again. By the way they liked me knowing it all because it really helped them grow develop and get their jobs done. I was regarded as a guru not a problem by my staff some are still friends even though I now live 100 mi away from where I worked. I also was a genius at hiring and the envy of the corporation in terms of selection of staff and you would not have made it through the first screening. Lots of really smart people aren't smart enough to work for me. If you accidentally slipped through and got an interview with me I'd pick up under a crappy attitude right away.

  49.  @irkenempire2849  There is a very low chance that your resume would show you to be a smart enough person for me to want to interview (lots of really really smart people we're not smart enough to work for me). If you did manage to get an interview I would have got a whiff of your bad attitude in the first 60 seconds. By the way as for my employees having a problem with me my employees stayed with me twice as long as the corporate average and several left went someplace else for a while and came back to work for me again. Manny went on to bigger roles that I groomed them for and they all developed about twice as fast as most of the people working for others I'm still in touch with a number of them and one is one of my three or four closest friends in the world. You're ridiculous

  50.  @irkenempire2849  I doubt that not one can hold a candle to me I've known a lot of other really smart people (at this point I live in a big house with two other guys and I'm not even the smartest guy in my house but in my defense my roommate Rick is a certified genius and a major scientist). Yes I am from the United States and now I am retired. I would imagine that things are vastly different where You are. No need for us to argue about anything.

  61. @yong9613  my education and background doesn't show that I'm specialized at all I have multiple degrees and widely separated disciplines earned my living in a highly intellectual discipline not related to either of my master's degrees or my undergraduate degree and of course there's the fact that I've read about 1500 books. Intellectually speaking you're closer to an insect than you are to me.

  63.  @yong9613  look I hate to break it to you but the people on this board are discussing the economy in North America sometimes the North America and Europe and Burma is not exactly applicable to this discussion. So basically you're the one who does not know what you're talking about because your experience is limited to Burma

  65.  @bpuryea  multiple sources however I'm not going to do Google searches for information that I already know so I can send links to you to look it up just look it up yourself. By the way I was a corporate management professional. Among multiple other duties and responsibility for the corporate budget for a significant corporation. During unfortunately many periods of layoffs I saw who got picked and who didn't knowing many of them by name. In my next gig, at the end of my career my position gave me access to the demographics of a workforce of just over 1 million people. I know what I'm talking about.

  66.  @msk3905  your personal experience does not Trump numbers. I too landed a big new job in my mid-50s but again that is not typical
    1
  67.  @irkenempire2849  I ran things of increasing size because I was good at running things and my employees stayed with me for more than twice the corporate average and several left, went someplace else and then came back. Most of the people who worked for me liked me and several are friends. Although you would have never had that experience because I doubt you'd be qualified to work for somebody who worked for somebody who worked for me. But don't feel bad when turned down a lot of really really smart people who just weren't smart enough to work for me.
