Face it guys....this 'ain't' the same America us old pharts grew up in!!
This.
I supposedly retired over two years ago but agreed to help out if I was really needed. I tell them no quite often but do work if it fits in my schedule and worked about 50 days last year. I just finished working the last three days and had three different folks ask me if I wouldn't come back to work full time!! I'm on the wrong side of 70 years old and can't seem to get it through my head why there aren't people willing to learn the trade I'm in. (Stationary Engineer) The employer is even willing to train someone who is interested enough to commit themselves to learn the trade. So far, no luck. It just blows my mind.
