[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is there so much ageism in corporate America and yet the President will be 80 years old in a few weeks. How is it that someone in their 40s, 50s, or 60s is too old for a job but the most important job in the country is done by someone in their 80s? [/quote] Again, executives (which is the President by definition) do not suffer nearly as much ageim. So if you are over 50, if you are in executive role you are pretty safe compared to IC/middle manager.[/quote] You are oversimplifying it. Yes of course some older (mostly male) senior leaders survive but they are extremely limited roles, and they get laid off too, especially if there are any bumps at the company. My private company has had some financial bumps and our CFO, COO, CAO, CLO and several EVP left. [/quote]
