How come no one wants to hire you after you have like 25-30 years experience in your line of work?

Because they would have to pay you a decent wage. Also they know you won't take shit from them. Been there, done that. Started another career. Would love to retire.
@SatyrService I left nursing for 3 reasons. Continued my other career I did on breaks from nursing. Who CAN afford to retire? I know an RPN who is 67 and is still working. She fears she will not have enough money. Meanwhile she has worked for about 38 years, is a borderline diabetic, and is a large, overweight woman. I think one day she will just drop dead. It is shameful that we must work so hard for so long. How much quality time do we have after retirement? I also know a woman younger than me who is quite capable of working. She lives on disability because she has a mental illness and runs around enjoying her freedom. My knees are shot yet I work full time. Where is the justice? You have to retire at some point. You need some you time before you are too old to enjoy it!
@PoetryNEmotion i struggle to make sure I HAVE a life, and pay my bills
my hope is to turn what I do for fun Intosome kind of income.
but i fear, dropping dead before I see the pyramids
@SatyrService I think many of us are struggling. Ending my career in nursing surely cooked my goose. Had no choice. What do you do for fun? Egypt is my dream holiday!
Because experienced people can't be controlled, or as HR says in modern corporation lingo, "molded". People with experience are too smart.
The greener the branch, the more easily it is bent.
@NoThanksLeon Exactly.

Because you won't come cheap and they can't exploit you because you know how the games is played and you know how to be vindictive if they try anything they shouldn't.

because it tells your age and discrimination is big

Because by then you'll be looking at retirement soon. Also, with that much experience, your salary requirements may be more than they want to spend.

HR and management know they can't screw you over. They also know our BS detectors have the sensitivity of a NASA satellite.

They knew I'd leave should someone offer me more money and they were right to think so.
Afraid of your expertise!

@SomeMichGuy and the cost.
@samueltyler2 Yes. This is where stockholders & boards need to start treating management like cogs and contracting out upper management to reduce costs.

you are the hotel management person--in your case it is timing. you are in a narrow niche and you just have to be in the right place at the right time. Which I am sure is hard to do. Also I am guessing in your line of work 5 years of exp is the same as 25. Extra experience does not give you a completive advantage like it does in other professions. .

It's preferable hiring a young dude fresh of college that can be underpaid and exploited for a good decade before they start fighting back. Rinse and repeat
becasue with that much time?
You are[i] Too Old[/i] to talk to
you have more experience that your p[possible boss, and they cant have that!

You're an expensive hoe! 😁


I don’t mean offense just a joke.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
Perhaps because that person would command a greater income?
NewBeginnings7790 · 41-45, F
Because of age, salary, and cost of health insurance.

Experience is more expensive.
