Pushed Out at 63 or Indispensable at 70? Two Realities for Older Workers
from Empower Over 50 · host Empower Over 50
Two very different stories are playing out in workplaces right now. One man told his employer he'd retire at 63 — and found himself out of work within days. Meanwhile, a 70-year-old former CTO is being called one of the best employees his team has ever worked with. What separates these two realities? And which one are we closer to? In today's episode, we explore new research from Harvard Business Review on the value of older workers, data showing 65+ is the fastest-growing workforce segment, and why the NCUA now requires credit unions to have succession plans. Plus, a lighter look at why some boomers are retiring just to avoid working with Gen Z. If you're navigating job loss, career uncertainty, or just wondering where you stand after 50 — this one's for you.Watch the full video on YouTube: youtube.com/@empowerover50Send us Fan MailSign up HERE for a weekly emailJoin the Community Message Board: Join our communityVisit our YouTube channel for all our videos: @EmpowerOver50Visit the Website: Empower Over 50My Book "Coming Home After 50: A Journey of Rediscovery is available from Amazon:https://a.co/d/injkC3b🌿 FREE Resource Guide Download HERE.https://www.instagram.com/the_english_musical_nomad/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564529386194https://x.com/T_E_M_Nomademail: [email protected]
