While generally right here.
they have not been retired for nearly a decade. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. but they've been holding on. How many companies have fossils still leading them?
as someone in my 40's, just before millenials. We were lost because there's simply no way up the ladder to places the boomers refused to vacate. doesn't matter how educated, experienced many of us were, There was a ceiling. We were told "hold your turn. boomers will retire soon"... they're in their 70's and 80's now. My parents included (Thankfully with us). But they're all STILL TRYING TO WORK!
My parents at least DID retire Mostly. MY dad still does some work because to the boomers, work was living. they really knew nothing else.
problem is now the combination of Covid and age, and many of them legit dying while still working, we've got a clusterfuck of an economic problem (here in Canada, we're already experiencing this wave). Immigration, Local resources, and infrastructure is just simply not setup for the mass wave of retirees going straight into either homes, or the ground. We can't import people fast enough to fill all the jobs, and the faster we import them, we can't build homes fast enough to keep the housing in check.
have to get ahead of this 10 years ago sadly. We're too late and we'll all be playing reactionary for the next 20 years in regards to the shifting demographcs.
