I also usually avoid the political stuff, but I have to say I completely agree. What exactly does retraining accomplish if there is nothing in the field?
They offered Mr. Pet “retraining” after Gateway laid him off last year. Turns out they meant they would pay for his books if he took more computer classes. Why? So he can get a job for half the pay or less at Best Buy?
Now he’s moved on to Pharmacy Tech, since there are so many older people it’s actually kinda booming, and probably will continue to do so…
right up until Social Security runs out in a few years. 🙄
