Job Security

 

Job Security Isn't Real—Create Career Security Instead

Job security is an oxymoron

Being let go from a job is hard for anyone, but especially for a person in midlife who’s primary focus is retiring within the next five years and finally having a chance to exhale and enjoy life. It feels like the rug has been snatched from under you and many are left wondering, Why Me?

If you think it won't happen to you, think again. Once you reach age 50 you're a liability to your employer. The company can hire someone half your age at half your salary and assign the new hire for you to train.
