[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I FEEL old at my office because I am in the older range of employees and it is a shrinking group. Where are all of the 40 and 50 somethings? We keep getting in younger employees and most from other countries so just being American and older is putting me into a small minority. It is lonely. [/quote] Gen x is a much smaller generation AND started the opt out revolution. [/quote] I'm a 48-year-old women with a Ph.D. and a lifetime of career experience. [b]I was fired for not being the right cultural fit,[/b] 3 months before I would have been 100% vested in my non-profit's 401K plan, and three days before my birthday. That's where all the 40 and 50-somethings are, fired, and starting their own businesses. [/quote] Is it even legal to fire someone for not being from the right "culture"? This sounds as though you were treated very unfairly. Can you talk to someone as to whether you have any recourse? [/quote]
