I am 51 and have always had outstanding performance reviews and suddenly everything I do is being questioned. I was told the things I am not doing (nor is anyone else in my department) is an issue. I was given until 1/2/18 to turn it around, along with a very long list of "must do's" if I want to keep my job. The requirements of me being able to accomplish half of what's on this list is ridiculous, even if I did work 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The writing is on the wall. I never thought that after giving 110% for 12 years, I would be discriminated against because of my age, but this appears to be the case. Sadly, I don't think being terminated under false circumstances qualifies for any type of severance, at least I will get my bonus and profit sharing. Maybe it's time someone took a stand and consulted an attorney. I just might take my own advice.
You are not the only one in this, @PRjLQCO-nhan. My dad, who is 53, is in nearly identical situation to yours. He is stressing so much, it's affecting his health. He gave his life to this company, and this is how they repay him?
