Or
Of course, it could be that older Americans who worked jobs they didn't like or found stressful opted to retire by age 65, leaving a subset of older workers who are generally happier within their workplaces and reluctant to retire, which is something Pew didn't analyze
I'd bet that older workers tend to have more seniority, so more autonomy and less bullshit, at least in my workplace. Also, many have the "half retired" mindset of "I don't want to do X, what are they going to do, make me retire / fire me?" and so have some more leverage if the employer doesn't want them to quit.
Hahaha all the ones that don't like their job retried.
I can imagine being happier at work when I'm older. Now I want to spent as much time with my small children as possible, they stay with us at home for such a short time and then move out. Once they do I can imagine it's fun at work again.
great, then let them do it on a volunteer basis.
Seniors are already load tested. Younguns don't seem to understand that so when young managers watch older people work at a steady pace, they get disappointed in their performance. Give me someone who is slow yet thorough any day of the week. If you don't have time to do things right, you do have time to do things twice.
It's nice, but what I feel about these generations is that they, en masse, took advantage of junior generations to enrich themselves – en masse, again. I can't complain too much because my generation is doing the same to the younger generations, and they will do the same also. It's crowd behavior and no one really has a control over it. I wish I could do something but I'm just a powerless individual who thus becomes an accomplice.
Anyway, my first reaction to this kind of article is thus often "sure, enjoy your spoil, morons". I do think my reaction is unfair, but it's automatic and done subconsciously.
It’s crowd behavior and no one really has a control over it.
No it's not. It's like 100 guys at the top who fucked over everyone by bribing the US congress to massively lower taxes on them, give them unchecked political power, and are actively fucking over the economy of the world.
All that missing money isn't in the pockets of still-working seniors.
But I'm sure the same problem exists even in countries with higher taxes, also in socialist countries.
The thing is that developed countries have more elder voters. Even those 100 people on the top wouldn't have control over them even if some of them had a good intent. And there are more than 100 of them, making it even harder to control for the people with good intent.
