VJers born after 1964... are the boomers in your workplace preparing to retire or planning to die in their cubes?

Where I work they all intend to die in their cubes. What do you see where you work?

There are lots of old timers where I work.

Education: no one here can afford to retire!

I've been out of college a decade now and even back then I used to hear a lot about the impeding wave of boomer retirements...

All I gotta say is it hasn't been a wave, just a light trickle.

There's only a couple of guys that are in their 50's and I'd guess they'll want/need to work until they can collect on Social Security. Our company offers no pension.

No one in their 60s? We have many in their 60s... and they started back when there was a defined benefit pension.

But they still won't fvckin leave.

What the incentive to stay?

I'm certainly planning on dying in my office. I'm just thankful I have a job

There are 80 faculty/staff members at my school and at least half are over 50...

** if I know. The ones I have in mind are all in great shape pension-wise... but they insist on staying... we have VPs who've been VPs for 2 decades... #######?!? No wonder no one gets promoted.

Here in the offshore oil industry it is a sea of gray hair and beer guts. Now that our 401K's have shrunk considerably...most boomers have to stick around longer than we really want to.

Not to mention that the younger generation just doesn't want to do this kind of work even though the pay and bennies aren't too shabby. We have gone through 3 apprentices at our offshore facility because they just can't cut it. I'm glad the economy is tanking. Maybe we'll be able to get a better class of newbies to train. You know, people that really want to work rather than schmucks that want a free paycheck for doing nothing.

Hungry people in a shrinking economy make better workers.

Your logic is undeniable

Here here. I am the youngest in my Department. And I am not a spring chick.

Academia is the place where mummies tenured profs dwell for eternity....

Will America have an epidemic of professors who drop dead en masse in the classroom in another decade or two?

Start putting travel posters up around the office showing guys like them smiling and enjoying themselves...alongside burial plot ads.
