Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

I could be mistaken, but OP sounds like that other recent older generation hater that stated he/she has an advanced degree in coding language. Good for him/her. They need to go brush up on their Liberal arts & interpersonal communications though. This person could be laid off just as easily as the rest of us. May we all survive post Payday Tuesday tomorrow. P.S. I am not ashamed to be Generation X.

What a whiny little pu--c. Old baby boomer here 35 plus years. Strung out and quiet quit for a couple years after they tried to boot me. Enjoying retirement and severence...and life after the stagecoach. Why use the older experienced employees as the ones to blame for you being a malcontent? Get a dog name it life then you'll have one.

The old employees are protected by leaderships. It’s a mafio nepotistic organization!

AGE DISCRIMINATION summed up in one post

WOW...woke pinhead rant if I've ever read one. And as someone that was laid off in Dec and now happily retired...life goes on quite happily and as for you making more than XX% of all of us. WOW. totally self-centered. I feel sorry for you. Obviously your little measly job is your life. You might want to explore hiking or trying to make friends to balance you out. Your lil rants will get back to your management and if some are "older" you'll be next...just sayin. You may think you're on mngts good side...but rants like that self-obsessed, mean one above will get you noticed and not in a good way!!!
No go change your diaper, have a juice box and take a lil nap. I think you're just tuckered out and lashing out lil munchkin!!

Fewer and fewer boomers are in the working world now. You likely mean GenX and, if so, .

Hate to say it OP, but Hudson Yards wants to fire both you AND the olds, it's not an either/or situation.

@ipq+1s3p3AJS

sorry slappy, no cords were hit. I am gen-X and retired, so I am not even the demographic you are crying about.

to reiterate, the OP does not deserve their job.

sigh

oh, and don't forget to pay your taxes.

In any decision, DO NOTHING is a viable option. If you can see 4-D chess moves clearly, sometimes not being a part of a fiasco is the solution.
This clarity sometimes comes with maturity/age. Frankly, I would want to hang onto the resources that see some of this “productivity” for what it really is, regardless of their age.

Sorry OP. It’s obvious from your post you’re terrified of a layoff. But begging your bosses to dump older employees to save your job is not the answer. It won’t work. Your age does not make you more valuable than they are. In fact your post outs you as a sniveling little whiner looking for protection. Better you should work on updating your resume and getting some interviews.

I used to think like you, OP. When you realize it’s all “run this way. Faster! Now turn around and run back. Faster!” Eventually, you learn to watch the tide turn and wait some things out. When leadership doesn’t even know which way is up, you pause and wait until you see the bubbles rising.
You will learn eventually and probably regret this rant.

"Some of these people have leverage FMLA (to bridge the gap between now and retirement) leaving teams holding the bag. Others have found a way to work remote and welcome a layoff and/or are simply dead weight."

OP,
Wow.
The self- centeredness and more importantly, the ignorance. You sound like a fantastic co- worker. A real go- getter. An aspiration to us all. A future leader who most people will run from once they catch your drift.

Awesome. I got 13 baby boomer downvotes and 4 baby boomer comments so far. You sit on this site each day and complain. I am gainfully employed and make by far much more money than 95% of you.

LOL - thanks for confirming my theory. If I hit a cord I must be onto something.

OP is all alone in the world. When you have no one and nothing, you just have your meaningless office job to desperately try to find meaning in.

And when you don't find that meaning (because it doesn't exist), the mind goes through all sorts of mental acrobatics such as the unhinged post.

To everyone else, regardless of your age, keep doing what's reasonable. It never makes sense to go "all in" to your office job. Other occupations? Yes. Office work? No.

Hopefully OP realizes this before he/she sacrifices too much more of their life helping executives get richer.

holy moley! what did I just read?

what a bunch of bilge..................

sounds like someone who would throw older employees under the bus to save their own skin.

the OP does not deserve their job.
