Re: Thought for Today
Unfortunately, that is so true. Knowledge and experience counts for nothing with the latest thinking of team management.
Some business and govt enterprises just want all the old farts to go away.
They want the young ones that are afraid to speak up as management know that they need that job to make ends meet.
I could go on and on, but it isn't fair to hijack Rays thread.

Number 3's are a mix of number 1's and number 2's and that becomes a problem when they arrive without warning Wasn't one of the sayings the old timer was sharing with his mate about life in old age, "Never pass a toilet without going in to at least check" "Never trust a fart" "try to wake up before your bowels do with enough time to make it to the toilet"

Peter, You probably shouldn't worry about it. As the say from time to time "S**t happens". So don't fuss til you need to.

Re: Thought for Today
At 64 I have picked up a senior management position in an NGO. Pays 6 figures car etc. Was supposed to be 12 months. Now mine for as long as I want. Apparently I can do no wrong... Plus I do get listened to. So the jobs are there. Yes I am still enjoying myself toosupersparky wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 7:28 pm Unfortunately, that is so true.
