Somewhat different, but in many ways the same thing with my mom. Comfortable job for like two decades, then a new ******* boss shows up and all of a sudden she's leaving and now has little to no desirable prospects cause she's around 50. There's a lot more **** to it than that, but yeah, pretty much in the blink of an eye all of your decades of hard work can be made worthless.

Not sure how to read this so please spell it out for me.

Yes, I still have my current job. I'm one of only 3 remaining employees from what was 35 a few years ago.

I have no high school diploma or college degree. My entire career is built on experience and reputation. I'm gonna be 57 and my skills are beginning to dimminish (putting it lightly), and there's a ton of snot nosed brats graduating from college next year who will do my job for even less than the diminished salary I'm having to accept under the conditions.

Fair enough.

Sorry to hear you're going through hard times. I hope you things work out for you.

Neo gets two more drinks on me.

I'm sorry to hear about all the financial and legal stress, Chula, and of course the health scares. That sounds grim. I always suggest exercise for people who are stressed out; it doesn't fix any probs, but it's free, and perhaps the endophines can help you relax a little.

From leaving school to retiring is a much more treacherous road than we were given to believe back in the '70s. I'm making it to the finishing line, but only just, with hourly-paid work and no benefits. Recently, I was doing a stint in the open-plan regional headquarters of a major international bank, and I noticed there was no-one there under about 45 yrs old -not a grey hair in the place. It was corporate policy; find some way to lose any employee approaching fifty. The staff told me that a typical tactic was the forced transfer; either you take this post in Siberia, or you leave the company. Businesses are just heartless these days.

Well, Take it easy if you can,
Lisna

Really sorry to hear that, Chula. Have you thought about starting a side hustle? You can make a decent living self-employed.

You stick to your opinions and take pride in them. You may be partial sometimes, but that's because you know where you stand. And everyone else does as well.

Sounds about right.

Lisna, I feel for you. Reach out if needed.
