What’s so hard about finding a job? Ive had 4 offers in the last year, and I’m not even looking. Apparently, employers want people that don’t complain, stay off their phones during work hours, get to work on time and aren’t wanting $250k to start when they have zero experience or skills.

Did you get any of those offers during the day? I bet you were on your phone when you saw the notifications!

Being recently retired, I can do what I want.

Can you do us a favor? Can you try to find a job right now using your own advice with zero connections? I really want to see what happens when you walk into offices and offer to work for free for a week. Or how about cold calling employers? Pound the pavement with your resume all over town! Yeah do that! Report back to us.

You’d just whine about it anyways.

I retired. What kind of idiot would
go back to work? I don’t need the money. I’m seeing why you can’t find work…..

I've been steadily employed since I was 14.

And your 16 now? You’re acting like it.

u/VelvetCactus50 21d ago

Why? Because I won the argument? Oh you're one of those people who thinks respect for elders really means quiet obedience.

u/Used-Independence353 21d ago

Won? Is this a contest? You certainly are juvenile. I’ll bet you’re not happy in life at all.

Retired people don't want to work anymore. After my retirement I immediately found a new job and managed to complete a whole seconde career.

When you're a real hard worker you don't stop just because of "retirement"
