So I'm watching the On the Money show last night on CNBC with carmen and some schmoo co-anchor says that the unemployed boomers he has seen look like "dead men walking." His advice is for them to drink some coffee before the interview, lose 20 pounds and convince the 20-something HR person that they are up-to-date, energetic, and can keep up with said 20-something co-workers.
Not only are laid off people suffering the huge losses in their retirement fund but also the loss of employment. And this jerk says they should go on a diet and act like they can be 25 again.
Is there no respect for maturity? No appreciation for experience?
Another person on the panel said, "Well, if you were a 20-something HR person would you want to hire your parent?"
They also said that boomers need to realize that they are not on top anymore. I guess that means you need to suck up to your 20-something interviewer. Please. That doesn't work anyway. I tried it.
The worthless SOB is Tyler Mathisen. He comes on at about 7:10. He is pond scum.
Rob Rosner is the one who said boomers were "dead men walking" at about 9:19 on the video.
They also said that boomers should downsize their resume. Hide their achievements. What a world!!!
Here's an video of the show. http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1053874954&play=1
Ok. Thanks for reading my rant. I had to let it out.
