Loyalty. I tried that. Worked for 3 3/4 years, then I was asked to leave with 2500 of my friends. The "average" number of jobs is 12, I'm already on 15 and while I hope it's the last, it's a contract...so who knows. I am loyal to knowing my job and loyal to myself. That "40 year" mark for me? It's next year, 2025. Will I retire? Sure, at some point. But I love my job and where I work, so unless something better that is solid comes along, I'll stay....if they ask me to leave...I'll find something new. Even if that means retraining to do it. Old dogs CAN and DO learn new tricks. So for those reading, be loyal to yourself and your knowledge. Remind any employer/prospect that you can easily learn new things and your resume should reflect that. Be confident and when someone says "you're too old, too qualified, too costly", let them know that things have a price, but it's always negotiable.

I was hoping you would see this and make a video. First, bravo to Brittany for recording it. It's a sucky situation and she handled it very well. Uploading it? Not so sure I'd have done that. I hope she's able to find new employment. Listening to the call, these two on the other end had no clue what they were doing. Watch the movie "Up in the Air" from 2009, George Clooney and Anna Kendrick. "Why are they being let go?" Never ask that, you don't care. But the reality is, the person's manager should have been on this call so she could direct her questions to them, not the consultants hired to let Brittany go. I think this is WORSE than the Bob's from Office Space, that was a movie, this is REAL and these two....I get they don't want to give answers, even if they have them, to limit legal blowback - quote from Up in the Air.
