| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 11:22 |
| JimBuntu | Merry Monday#3 BluesKaj | 11:22 |
| BluesKaj | 'Morning JimBuntu, well fortunately I'm retired so it's just another morning to me :-) | 11:23 |
| JimBuntu | BluesKaj, How dare you! How dare you to have already worked so many years/etc that you now get to retire! :-D | 11:24 |
| BluesKaj | actually i've been retired for 19 yrs | 11:25 |
| * JimBuntu is voted most likely to wander into the woods and never come back. | 11:25 | |
| BluesKaj | heh ;-) | 11:25 |
| JimBuntu | BluesKaj, you have been retired nearly as long as I have been working, lol. | 11:25 |
| BluesKaj | I was a victim of the company downsizing policy, so i was able to retire with "incentives" | 11:27 |
| JimBuntu | Basically the same happened to my father. | 11:27 |
| BluesKaj | i suppose victim is the wrong word, but casualty comes to mind as well :-) | 11:28 |
| JimBuntu | I'm not sure if victim is the wrong word, when it comes to basically being forced from a job in a non-fired sense. I get what you mean though. | 11:29 |
| BluesKaj | yeah the 90's were a bad time for some in the 50's, not so bad for others | 11:29 |
| BluesKaj | in their 50's that is | 11:30 |
| JimBuntu | My father ended up going back to work elsewhere after a few years. I don't think he could take the retirement, especially when most of his hobbies were weekend based. | 11:30 |
| JimBuntu | In his case, computers literally eliminated his specific job. He would manually route trains from source to destination and ensure each intersection went smoothly/etc. Computers are much better at this task than humans. | 11:32 |
| BluesKaj | right I totally get that, i looked for work a couple of yrs afterwards too, and almost did go back but the money wasn't nearly worth travelling for an hr to work every morning with a large cut in pay for the same work. | 11:33 |
| JimBuntu | In my fathers case, many of his hobbies were based around automobiles,... so he ended up finding a job where he could work on cars, which was something he really enjoyed doing. I'm sure he disliked the pay... but getting paid to do something you like is different. | 11:34 |
| BluesKaj | I was an environmental lab tech and worked with spectrophotometers and other analytical instruments to measure water,effluent and air quality .. it was mostly enjoyable work , but kids coming out of college were working for half the pay I was receiving for the same job just before retirement | 11:37 |
| BluesKaj | hence the "downsizing" by my company | 11:39 |
| JimBuntu | BluesKaj, yup. Big moves to get more people "educated" (% wise) hurt many economies... we are still suffering from this in other industries today. Unsure if it's the same in your region, but I suspect it is. | 11:40 |
| JimBuntu | In the U.S.A., back in the mid-late 90s and early 00s, there was a big push for students to get medical degrees... from nursing to Doctorates... flooded the market for a decade or so | 11:42 |
| JimBuntu | Now there are a bunch of medical workers who have displaced previous workers... many of the new workers hate their jobs, as they didn't have an interest in it... was simply a way to "make a lot of money"... | 11:43 |
| BluesKaj | I never went college or U, started work straight out of high school at various jobs til I lucked out and got hired to test pulp and paper in the mill which worked at for 32 yrs . the company offered us lots of courses to improve our qulifications for various jobs,. it really was an enlightened work environment for close to 30 yrs, til a company with a totally diiferent culture and philososphy bought the place.The writing was on the wall | 11:53 |
| BluesKaj | very soon afterwards. | 11:53 |
| JimBuntu | Some companies (owners) care about the workers, the town and such... many don't. It's kinda sad, but I get it. | 11:54 |
| BluesKaj | yup exactly | 11:57 |
| BluesKaj | my kids all grew up here, but none of them stayed, they're all living in cities | 12:10 |
| BluesKaj | not much future in a small town these days :/ | 12:11 |
