Challenging Work, Pidgeon-holed Fear
Challenging Work, Pidgeon-holed Fear
Challenging work; might be a good starter job.
Be careful not to get pigeon-holed. Companies love downsizing, especially employees in their early 50s (prior to 55). In hardware, raises were minimal.
Upper management needs to show more respect for their employees, instead of constantly driving down costs. Most ex-employees end up better off, especially if prepared for other companies or work.
