[quote=Anonymous]I’ve had 3 women over 60 work for me.

One was sorry and lazy, and quit when I joined the team and became her boss. Everyone was glad to see her go.

One was hourly and the sweetest woman, so kind and loved training and working with our young new hire. Unfortunately she got laid off (not my decision as we were all laid off, her job was automated and outsourced, and she had no other marketable skills for our company).

One is my current associate and is such a pleasure to work with. She’s been with the company almost longer than I’ve been alive, and does not want to grow in her career but does enjoy expanding her experience and skill set in our area, and loves mentoring and guiding the newer associates. She loves her job and the team and our company. We will truly lose a valuable and knowledgeable resource whenever she decides to retire.

It has been inspiring to me as a middle aged woman to see these older women (and others that I know, like my mom) gainfully employed and happy with their work. It’s shown me what’s possible.[/quote]
