There is a new manager at my workplace

He has been here for a month and is an over zealous micro manager.
The place is no longer the harmonious work site it once was.
So I have decided to look for work elsewhere.
I have lodged an application yesterday. I will not delude myself, at 64, the odds of my even getting an interview are very slim.
Should no interviews be forthcoming then I will grit my teeth and do what is required in this job, without enthusiasm.

I got hired 3 years ago at 67, sometimes a little age doesn't hurt as much as you might think.

@GerOttman Sure. I am not totally pessimistic.

@GerOttman Hired at 67 for what?

GerOttman · 61-69, M

@AmericanAvenger building engineer, boiler room and stuff. Good work and good pay.

AmericanAvenger · 56-60, M

@GerOttman Yes - that skill set works for older workers - younger workers are not clamoring for it and experience can't be replaced easily

@AmericanAvenger oddly enough, I had no experience at all. It was a complete career change. There were "circumstances". Kind of a perfect opportunity at the exact right time.

@GerOttman GReat - some luck is needed once you get past 60. I have never had much. I don't have a network or special set of skills that are marketable in my area or years of experience in one place as my longest job was only 10 years. I fear that I am fucked
