It seems to be the day for them.

Once again from Management-Issues.com this little gem indicates a suicidal tendency by employers. If we have a worker shortage and firms do NOT want to take the business off shore and there are in fact qualified, trained and experienced workers available who just happen to be older, then why does this attitude persist?

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the new bosses are petrified that the older workers could actually run the shop better than they currently can?

Maybe that is why senior executives are looking for such high pay packets - they know something we don't?

Perhaps it is that they will retire on their ill gotten gains before the world catches up with them and the devastation they will leave behind or ??

"Almost half of workers across Europe believe their workplaces discriminate against older workers, a new survey has suggested.

As Britain gears up for arrival of age anti-discrimination laws this weekend, the poll by recruitment firm Monster found that Spanish and German workers most felt older workers were discriminated against, but Norwegians were the most tolerant towards older workers.

The survey of asked 8,277 European workers "do you feel your company is ageist when it comes to employing new recruits?"

A total of 46 per cent across Europe believed their employers discriminated against older workers when it came to hiring new recruits, although nearly a quarter felt their organisation took a balanced approach."
