Longleat staff given forced retirement

[skyhuck]

This is what happens when the government over legislates and takes the power to make decisions away from employers.

 

These people have be compulsory retired before the law changes. Once the new law comes in employers will not be able force people to retire.

 

Before this change employers could keep those over 65 who were still capable and let go those who were not. Now all have the right to stay.

 

Some of those that been let go at Longleat where 70, so before this stupid law they where judging them on a case by case basis, but know they can't.

The older guys are highly experienced and walking history books - there is a huge amount of information and attitude that youngsters can gain from the older worker. Not all youngsters are suitable for their chosen careers or fit in as well. The staff reduction should be balanced via historical working evidence and suitability for the roles understaken.

 

The older worker is also very vulnerable with a low chance of retraining or re-employment. Its a shame this has to happen at all but difficult decisions have to be made in business. To loose all of the older staff in one go does not seem a balanced way of doing things.
