[quote=Anonymous]My 50+ friends have been laid off from white collar jobs and are looking to get in the same field even after 2 years. Some took serious demotions to pay the bills accepting bosses 20 years younger. Every day there are more “I’m happy to announce that I’ve starting a consulting (or coaching) firm” on linkedin. It’s just a facade not to look unemployed because the majority have no clients.

I too left a C-suite job right before 50 because of a really toxic environment. I stayed for the money until I got sick, then I had to leave to save my life. I started a gig in a completely different field and hope to never ever have to be employed and make some shitheads rich.

I believe that after 50 it comes down to having a bold mindset and going against conventions. My grandparents rode their bikes into their 90s and were never concerned they’d fall. They didn’t overthink it, it was just part of their daily life. Screw conventions, move your elbows and claim your space. It’s the best cure anti ageism. [/quote]
