To think there's massive age discrimination after 50

[Livelifelaughter]

My company recently made redundant some extremely competent experienced lawyers. All the ones below the age of 50 (40s)have got new jobs. None over 50 have even though they would accept the salary on offer to the 40 year olds.
Some have approached firms asking to retrain in other areas of law at a lower salary and have got no where even though many firms will re train women who have left for years to have families.
It seems very difficult to get a decent well paid job at 50 plus.

I am 70. Most of my same age friends were 'managed' out of their jobs in their late 50s and early 60s.

Totally agree.

All this nonsense from Sunak and the government about enticing the over 50s back to work. Er hello - start with employers then who seem to line up the over 50s for redundancy as they can “take early retirement”.

Unless what they mean is that they want them doing is menial not professional jobs.

Point to where I said that's ok

As someone up thread said..O levels are the give away.

But you'd need to know how long people had spent in each job, otherwise it would be meaningless.

NHS job I am applying for wants month and year for the start and end of each employment. Ever.

Plus gaps.

Plus years at uni and school.

Plus qualifications with dates

(I might have guessed some of the months)
