You can no doubt tell that we are not too enamored with corporate life
. As the old adage goes, "the only thing worse than having a job, is not having one." We have also very likely ruffled more than a few feathers with the clichd descriptions of certain corporate individuals. They will even probably cite our comments and stated attitudes as justification for their hiring methods. The truth is at 50 years of age most of us are wise and mature enough to know that life involves doing things we don't like at times. The hope is that those who are hiring will humble themselves and acknowledge that the major motivation many of us have for working is money. The fact that we don't love our jobs does not preclude us from being valuable long-term employees. These were supposed to be our peak earnings years. We would now settle for far less.
