Same on plane sleep. At best, I can take a dozy nap, but it’s usually pretty short and not restful. If I want to get quality sleep, I have to be able to fully recline, and since I can’t afford first class, I’m just screwed. I’ve tried a lot of different tricks: melatonin in heavy doses, OTC sleep meds, sleep mask, ear…

And good luck to you if your employer uses Zoom for its internal and client-facing meetings!

Totally agree. I’m in my late 40s and work in high tech. It’s only a matter of time before I am let go for being an old man and then my chances of ever getting an equivalent job are basically zero.

Of the people who planned to retire at a later age, or didn’t plan to retire at all, I’d be interested to know how many are In that boat because they want to keep doing their jobs and how many are doing what they can to save but don’t expect to have enough money to retire.

I have peers bemoaning their inability to find qualified employees while at the same time unwilling to hire anyone their own age or older. It’s galling.

Yep. I'm 56, and I figure the job I'm in now is probably my last gig. So I use the large snow shovel to throw money at my 401k as long as I can.

Spot on. I’ve got a relative with extensive experience in multiple Information Technology and Business disciplines, a MBA and over a decade of management experience. Only problem is he’s in his fifties and companies can (and will) hire more than one person to do his job (regardless as to which discipline he tries to…

Just ask anyone who’s 50+ (and worse 60+) if they were in the job market how easy it was for them to find a new job. Even for highly specialized skills, it’s a giant pain in the ass to get a new job in advanced age, and if you’re just a worker bee in your mid 50s you’re looking at scraps at best. There’s a gazillion…

Changing the out of the box settings once, to suit the lighting of the location, is fine, but needing to do it for particular programmes only highlights the pretentiousness of those involved in creating it.

It would be nice if producers actually had a clue about averaging, vector scopes and wave forms so we didn’t have to screw around with our TVs. And DO NOT get me started about audio!

I’m going to try to be less dismissive of your comment than some of the other people who responded... Can you, in three sentences or less, explain either what you’re trying to say or what you’re objecting to from the original post? I get why you would want to benefit from banking travel with one airline; that’s self…

Pot, meet kettle.

MAJOR EYE ROLL!

Yes - airlines aren’t just out to screw everyone over and most complainers are people who rarely fly. I am loyal to United (Continental pre-merger) and have been for 15 years. I spend a lot of money with them and I wouldn’t bother to keep loyalty (“elite” status) without the minor perks I receive such as “premium”…

So you’re not elite, you’re just a life coach for the elite. Okay then.

What a ridiculous comment.

Bitcoin at $0?!?!?!? TIME TO BUY!!!!!!

I live nearish to Pittsburgh and while the Amazon HQ would mean jobs, they are notorious for treating their workers like shit. Compound that with what the city would do to court those jobs... the whole situation just makes my skin crawl. It’s a race to the bottom.

No, everyone will get something and the old and sick won’t be dying in the streets because that’s what’s coming in the republican’s America. Redistribution is not a dirty word, it is good social policy. Too bad if the rich have to settle for $100 dollar bottles of wine instead of $10,000 ones.

Neat trick but when I fly it’s always a full flight EVERY. DAMN. TIME. ugh. lol.
