Re: Finding a new job in your 50s
He's quite determined today to stay on until he's had his latest leg operation hopefully in March. They pay full pay for his grade for sickness so he will get three weeks out of them. It's a bit shocking hearing that from him he's usually going back long before he's ready so he doesn't let them down.Re: Finding a new job in your 50s
Re: Finding a new job in your 50s
Julie I can empathise with you, as I am in a not too different situation, in 2015 we were sold to a company that, quite frankly would have been the last company on earth I would want to work for, a few were made redundant some left, I was more or less guaranteed a job because I have a gas qualification, and none of the other engineers in my area had, bugger, I so wanted the 17 grand that my mate got, but hey ho, the job is tolerable, but I want to leave and do something different, not bothered about the money, house paid off and all that, I will probably end up walking and I’m sure I’d find something, I too am ( or nearly) the same age as your hubby, he too would, I’m sure be able to find other employment, has he any basic diy skills,? maybe he could find a handyman or maintenance role in a local nursing home?, caretaker at a school, perhaps, one of my ex colleagues found a job aged 67, there’s always something..Re: Finding a new job in your 50s
As another poster has stated, this is about trying to get someone to quit rather than have to make him redundant and pay him out the redundancy money he would be due.Re: Finding a new job in your 50s
Quitting and you get nothing, take E V R if offered I did and don 't regret it one bit. In fact the best move I ever made work wise. Some time ago I went on about Skyvac for cleaning roof gutters. i have since talked to several window cleaners around here and not one had heard of it. My bet is there is a huge opening for their products, not just for gutters but also for vacuuming high up places ,such a in factories, where dirt and dust is never removed.Re: Finding a new job in your 50s
Re: Finding a new job in your 50s
The State government closed a power station I worked at in the 1980s so I had to change jobs in my late 40s at an age when it is much harder to find new employment. Everyone was offered voluntary redundancy - it allowed me to pay off my house and build an extension. Fortunately I had boiler and first class steam engine driver's licences so I actually had companies ring me offering jobs.Re: Finding a new job in your 50s
