[quote=Anonymous]Boomers still in workforce dont like to hire someone just as qualified as them or more who are like 5-15 years younger for less pay as they become second in charge for much cheaper that are ready to take their job by attempting to push them out and backstabbing or just company see a cheaper younger person who can do same thing for less.

Interviewed a few roles where boss of area was 55-64 had 4-5 areas report to him and each report had no clue what happened in other areas. None had Deputies or second in charges. As  soon as they realized I know all the areas they wanted nothing to do with me. I was more than willing and happy to do a small piece of the work. But I think they were scared if I took that lower level job at less pay their job was in jeopordy.

My old friend did this and he used to joke I hire anyone as long as they are not between the ages 30-60. He wanted them to old not to be considered to take his job and just happy to have a job or so young not qualified.

He was 58 at time       [/quote]
