[quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised that people still get shocked when they are laid off from a job, especially at age 40+. This is not a new phenomenon. Imho Layoffs are common and should be expected and financially planned for. The expense, skills and upward trajectory of a 50 year old are very different to an employer than a younger worker. Higher health care costs, larger paychecks, more vacation time off work, more sick time off. Coupled with a declining and outdated skill set, knowledge base and lower productivity compared to younger workers. No worker should be surprised when they are laid off in this day and age. But older workers should definitely not be shocked by it.[/quote]
