Speaking as a capitalist, I don't suppose it's anyone's obligation to "help the situation". If that guy values his time, and his retirement, at $200/hr, well, that's his privilege.
Not I. If the day comes that I get tired of working, I don't suppose it'll take that much to change my mind. But I can't be sure, really, because I still ~like~ this work. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* Write a wise saying and your name will live forever. -Unknown */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Tom Brennan Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2022 16:35 But some are not helping the situation. For example, I remember reading (paraphrasing) "I'll think about coming out of retirement for $200 an hour and I'll only work for one year max." When employers hear things like that, no wonder they look for a different category. --- On 3/20/2022 11:06 AM, John McKown wrote: > Age discrimination is basically "we want young, inexpensive, workers > regardless of qualifications" (unsaid is because that increases the > top management's bonuses).

Well, I imagine there might be exceptions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
