us kids finally got 1 over on u boomers and u 😭 becauz older.

my favorite thing about ageism is that it’s other older people that are the cause of ageism, who do you think has the power to hire?


Recruiters should be fine compared to the vast majority of other people in the industry (strat, creative) Like everyone else in this industry, they need to be flexible with the markets they are looking at. Just because they can’t get a job in LA doesn’t mean there aren’t jobs out there. Have them look elsewhere

AS1 anybody who thinks that somebody who lost their job and can’t get a new one (possibly because of ageism) is being selfish for not wanting to uproot their family in the name of getting work. Anybody who’s ever had to care for anybody else knows that an insane thing that is just to up and move.

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
