[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started to worry about ageism at 40 and saved 50% or more of my salary over many years. [/quote] 40 isn’t that terrible. I am not actively looking but hiring managers and recruiters are still pinging me regularly. Don’t go to an industry with a lot of young people like tech or gaming/leisure.[/quote] No one was talking about ageism when I started working at 25, and my family was all govt workers so it was a foreign concept to me. [/quote] I think ageism has become a thing since tech took off (not to mention the huge growth of the stock market) and the big F100 had to start competing. So, long term jobs started getting phased out to keep the workforce young and (hopefully) hungry.[/quote]
