No, he should have saved money from his 50+ years of employment for his retirement/rainy day. I would imagine with such wonderful things such as compounded interest rate you could save quite a lot... Don't make me break out the finance calculator.


And I'm sure he will be the first one to tell you that life is not fair.


If you have actual proof of that you can easily sue for discrimination, but I'm thinking you do not.

Actual proof? No. Besides, they almost did me a favor, as I was going to either get a decent pay raise or leave the job soon anyways. Wasn't gonna complain. Besides, that's to be expected - they didn't fire me. It's similar to if GM were to, say, be paying a bunch of people to check the clear-coat on new vehicles (not that they do, just naming some menial task that there's no reason to pay for imo) and then remove that position from their company, laying off all those workers. Is that discrimination? No.
