Mainly what I’ve observed are Senior people being intentionally out manuevered by the organization already in place. This will happen through in a workforce reduction or layoff. Months later a young graduate is hired in at half the salary of his predicessor. In a right to work State there are little if any legal conduits for reprisal. Now the over fifty five white male is no longer marketable. Who wants to take the time to orient and train someone who will retire in ten years, may be a health risk, is seen as too set in their ways and might not fit in with the younger workforce? Of course its a good business decision but thats all. I have been through three such situations myself but luckily I have managed to find employment even when the economy was in the comode. I’m three years away from retirement so I’m still vulnerable but I count the blessings I’ve been given. It’s all about greed and the wonderful dollar my friends.
