[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2849312, member: 1535"] My wife is a highly paid and well benefitted corporate officer with over 30 years one company, refinery equipment manufacturer, she went to work there right out of school finishing her grad school at night. She is basically right now training her replacement- she hasnt been told that, officially, but she's a smart cookie and she knows whats going on. She has a new 'aide' who is a young attractive person with shiny new degrees but no upper level corporate experience hired to do administrative duties. And she is shadowing her every move, asking alot of questions, etc. She will be trained by someone who took many years and sacrificed time at home to work her way up thru the ranks to working directly with the president and founder. Until he passed away recently. Long time customers knew him and her as the face of the company. But his kids are running the show now and are probably just looking at surrounding themselves with younger smarter and healthier people, cant blame them for wanting to have a young and healthy workforce. (The wife has had some health problems recently, stuff that over 50 yr old people get here and there but nothing serious, she just had to take some time off but was still totally devoted to her job from her home office. It took 3 people to do her job at the company while she was gone and they still F'd some things up she said). Luckily for her she has a nice retirement package if it happens and everything we own is always paid for so she can afford to retire she just wanted to get in a few more years before she did, now it looks like it may be shortened by just more than the oil slow down.
