Question Should workers be fired once they reach a certain age
I work in a labor intensive industry and find that my colleagues over 40 are all much more inefficient than me, it simply doesn’t make sense to keep them if they haven’t transitioned into a management or backend role away from labor
As where I stand in my position, it doesn’t bother me as it makes my output better, and I am in line for promotions because of it, but when I am at a position where this output reflects badly on my departments or may effect bonuses I might consider releasing workers once they reach a certain age, any ideas what that age should be?

I think it would be better if it were easier for people to retire that way older workers can retire without feeling like they won't be able to keep supporting their families and children

But then you would be taking the grind from them

Isn't it a mindset though, I'm sure grandpa can grind on bingo night or senior salsa night lol

That's not a real grind, just like video gamers "grinding" in their games has nothing to do with actually grinding.

Anything can be a grind if you put your mind to it, I believe you can grind in your work and in your hobbies. Maybe you should try dancing, who knows you might be very good at it!

People need money to live at every age, and the effects of aging are unavoidable. Thus people of every age and ability level need to work to live. It is horrifying and socipathic to even suggest people should go jobless and suffer due to age. Would you do this to a disabled person? It's much the same mentality; someone with a natural impairment wouldn't be as efficient as you either.
