I enjoy my position and work for a young lady who is much younger than I am. Having said this, I have been absence t from the work force for so,e time and must say that the team I am with has shown great compassion and the willingness to assist me in my journey to learn so much during my first year onboarding. It is not a. Easy job, and it can be difficult. I don’t think there is ageism occurring. They do know that I will not be retiring from this, I was very honest in this during my interview. I enjoy being helpful, and will work til I feel my work is done or I no longer enjoy it. I cannot give enough praise to my fellow workers. Every work place has its drama, but I feel the balance here and opportunity to be useful is great.

My current boss (and probably my last) is a woman my son’s age. The difference in her management style and the management style of women in the 70s-80s is amazing. She is a dream to work with, a good leader, isn’t trying to stomp down all the women who work for her, encourages everyone to do what they want to get ahead. Want to get certified in something? Give her the paperwork and she (well the company) pays for it. Now, if we could just get the male of the species to get their heads out of the cave …..
