[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I retired this past year from my federal job at the age of 63. I liked what I did but couldn’t stand my ageist boss. The guy would always talk about he wanted to pull in outsiders with more relevant skills. He only gave interesting work to the young 30s women he had hired. Funny thing was idiot boss is 56 himself - not so young. I don’t understand all this ageism. On every job I look at, the organization states discrimination that gender, sex, race and age are strictly prohibited. My mind still works and I am healthy. I actually enjoyed my work. I would like another job , but am afraid to even look lest I be discriminated against. If it is illegal to discriminate based on age, why is it done so openly? Makes me sick. [/quote] If sounds like your boss wants to feel more competent than his direct reports. I have seen this a lot, avg wit middle manager only hires avg wit inexperienced hire.[/quote]
