With all of the violations of the law in the area of age discrimination…why would there be a proposal to allow Managers to determine who should go …and…who should stay in the event of a rift or cut down? New employees come with fresh flames and fresh electricity..this comes with the newness of any situation. Is it fair to even compare a "fresh" 2 year employee against a 20 year solid performer who has consistently made it happen but who may not exemplify the visible eagerness, vitality and vigor? Not only does this appear unfair…but for those of us who have given the best years of our life to support this mission….it feels like a blatant slap in the face for our faithfulness. Not to mention…..most of the incoming workforce members…have no commitment to longevity in anything.
