You don't need an excuse to not be retired. Plenty of people just don't have the means to retire so are still working. Or plenty of boomers are housing or at least helping their millennial kids with bills and therefore don't retire. Why should a 69 year old who is still totally active leave their job, which puts their mental and physical health at risk all while moving to a smaller, fixed income at a time of crazy price increases just to make room for other people to make more? They're getting screwed by grocery prices and insurance spikes too
Because their job is as an executive and they just play with their own buttholes all day.
If some executive retired, do you really think you’d just step into their shoes? That is not opening a job for a millennial.
Before anyone says that will let everyone shuffle up a bit, letting each level improve, I also wanted to point out the number of executives is very small, relative to the entire cohort. Even if they all stepped aside, that’s just not opening many spaces
Exactly. My generation needs our shot at fucking things up first!
Of course I wouldn't. I'm totally understand qualified and uninterested. But I'm telling you most of the corporations around here are run by old guys going on "business trips" in mexico who got their job through their golf buddy. And they don't do much aside from wander around chatting all day, collecting a salary equal to 4 of the people actually producing value.
