If you're over the age of 45 feeling stuck and contemplating a job move, go for it!

If you're over the age of 45 feeling stuck and contemplating a job move, go for it! The media has done a fantastic job at making experienced employees feel less than. Don't you dare downgrade your career or your salary! No, no, no!!! Your age is no barrier and with your age comes experience. You've lived through multiple recessions. You have a lens to the economic horizon which most of our less experienced colleagues do not have. You know what to do and how to do it. Even if you're over 65, do not ever let anyone or any company determine your worth, your value or whether it's time to take a back seat. That is the damage that social media has done. Do not let it guide your worth, how much you make or what you do. Ever! Age diversity within the workplace is a must have.

    I love this!!
    My company has a DEI council and I sent them an article on age discrimination. I am hoping it gets discussed at our next meeting. The media does a great job at making all older people feel less than imo. You can't turn on the TV without a commercial pointing out an age related flaw you probably didn't even know you had until the commercial aired.
