An age old problem
from BasTalk - everyday at work! Hosted by Aayan
Age is just a number when you are in your 20s; by the time you hit the 30s, it asks some questions, and in your 50's, you are known by the number more than the person you are! So why is age such a significant factor in the typical workplace? If you are competent, qualified, and able to execute the job well, what stops you from being gainfully employed? Turns out, people want to hire younger people at a lower cost. So what's wrong with that? Were you not hired over someone older when you were younger? So then what happens to older people? What do they do? Does their competency reduce over time? How do you choose between experience and ability? So what do you do if you find yourself on the wrong side of the 40s in a country where the average age is 28? Join me in this fascinating discussion about ageism in our offices and job markets. Is old really Gold, or is Gold getting old? #Ageism #dated #old #job #senior
