[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wasn’t in high risk high reward IT career. I am out at 52. So don’t feel secure that only those are affected by ageism.[/quote] Same here. Booted at 50. Salary was not high, $155k. Been a year. Not even close. [/quote] You have struggled to find a job for a year? [/quote] This is not unusual at all in your 50s. [/quote] [b]The problem is you think you are worth a professional salary, but your skills are old, stamina is down, and you need to accept a job with less responsibility and pay.[/b] [/quote] This is a generalization and only true in some situations. But I do agree that someone in their 50s laid off needs to take what they can get. A friend's dad got laid off and wouldn't take a job that was "beneath" him. He never worked again and I know he and his wife are struggling now with money. Work out, keep current, forget pride and be happy to get another job.[/quote]
