(COVER PIX MAYBE?) Posed by a model showing how retirees would likely scour the newspaper advertisements for jobs, especially for those who still want to work to earn an income or pass time. Many however lament they are having difficulty getting a job post-retirement, although there are those who have gotten employment and prefer doing their own business instead.
I REFER to “Help seniors get jobs” (The Star, Dec 24). Although I sympathise with people who need an income post-retirement, companies are not charities.
The reality is that many companies are finding that the bottomline is shrinking due to competition and higher costs. As such, we may not be able to change the retirement age or force companies to continue to employ people who may have passed the statutory retirement age.
