[quote=Anonymous]My brother is exactly as you describe, OP. He just turned 50. He holds jobs for about 4 months and then gets let go and is out of work for a year or two (or more) and then gets a job for 4 months, lather, rinse repeat. He's in sale and marketing and only takes director positions with fly-by-night start-ups, which is probably why they take a chance on him. For a while my parents bought all the stories of why he was laid off, maybe they still do, but it's harder to maintain the illusion when this has been going on for so long. Unlike some of the other siblings on here, my brother is charming and charismatic, but spends his days watching TV and movies, not working. It has put a lot of stress on my elderly parents who, as in the OP, say it will even out in the will where he will get less. I . . . don't see that happening. My brother and I were very close once but his failure to get and hold a job -- any job! -- has affected our relationship. [/quote]
