I am saying it's bad.

What I am saying is the corporate C-Suite doesn't like it when suddenly they are the people who are going to lose their jobs to some young, plucky, up-and-comer.

My issue is the hypocrisy. They literally got into their C-Suite positions practicing that kind of business, where they stress the numbers are more valuable than the people, and they will do anything to get rid of the older, more costly employees. Who usually also happen to be their most valuable employees. They don't like people knowing their value, and they try to get rid of those older workers, and it's disgusting.

I've spent my life knowing that "age discrimination laws" were a joke (as are any other anti-discrimination laws) in any state where "at will employment" is at play. They can fire you for any reason, and they'll be happy to make up and document made-up reasons when the real reasons are "he's too expensive" or "I fucking hate queers."

I guess I just have no sympathy when their own shitty decisions finally catch up to them and affect them. That's all.

I ain't shedding no tears for corporate C-Suite fuckwits who already have enough money to make Solomon blush, and who got that money by doling out the same kind of financial decisions they're now angry about being aimed at them.
