4. the great over 50 layoff

Baloney. So the same number of older workers they had before were able to return to work. Basically, that means age discrimination is now still at the same level it was before. Most of my friends are my age 60+ and most of us got laid off due to the pandemic and none of us got hired again.

Age discrimination is real and I never saw one single article about how companies were thrilled to get rid of us and how they still refuse to hire us now. If anything has changed then the numbers of older workers returning to work should be way HIGHER than it was before. Same old same old.
