What’s With All of This Age Discrimination? Whatever Happened to the Dignity of Labor?

from SEEBECK’s VIEW by WBSeebeck

by Bill Seebeck

*** begin quote ***

In today’s world, it is money that is the value that counts. If a company can hire you or even two of you at less money than it is paying one older, more “seasoned” person, they will do it in a heartbeat. Then on top of it, they will let the older person go — laid off, fired, whatever you want to call it. The British call it being “made redundant”.

*** end quote ***

[JR: As a bitter fat old white man, whose been "made redundant" more times than I like, we have to change society.]
