[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My role is safe but I’m in the know about who is going to be impacted. I know the managers who need to deliver the news. There’s lots of angst and it just sucks.

No questions. Just a vent. Thank you for listening.

Sorry to hear this. Having to fire people is the main reason I have never sought a promotion past my current job. You have to be a psycho not to care about the distress you are causing. I have been fired one time from a crappy sales job 25 years ago, and you never forget the blank soulless look on the person doing the firing.  [/quote]

Where are you that you can remain an IC into your 50s?  That’s why people get promoted, to avoid being fired for ageism [/quote]

What is an IC? I don't know if I am one[/quote]

Individual contributor. It’s so much better to be a highly paid IC than deal with the BS and hours of management either the added bonus of being canned anytime.[/quote]

Ok I am an attorney in a government agency.. Promotion to management requires jumping through lots of hoops and is not automatic.. There is plenty of work for regular staff so they do not push people out because of age.[/quote]
