Protected Class
Okay,
so some of you don't get it. Years ago laws were passed to protect certain age groups from age discrimination. It started with the 60 year olds. Then they added the 50 year olds. Now the 40 year old class has been added. I have become part of this class. YUK. I do not feel old enough to be part of this class. Next we will be offered 50 cent coffee and reduced prescription charges.
I am a firm believer, if you do your job, you shouldn't have to use a classification to save your job. With all the downsizing, bankruptsies and corporate theft how can our jobs be protected anyway??? Classification sure won't help, if anything, now I have been labled as older, it could actually hurt. Who's bright idea was this anyway?? As long as I do my job, keep the company running, reduce our spending and pray no more Huricanes head our way, I should be fine.
Right?
