CONSEQUENCES OF LONGER TIME IN WORK FORCE

       Why can't the person who can afford to retire....retire? Allow other people a chance to move up and in turn others to fill the positions behind them. If all these people would retire then the job market would be tighter, wages would be higher and we would have more leverage with companies in making demands for better benefits and health care. Damn...the people that want to retire can't while the people who can won't. Do you want to die on the job and gather cob webs?

        If I could retire, I assure you there are a lot of things I can find to do with my spare time besides work for someone else. Start my own business, find a part-time job such as working online which I believe that I can earn much more money to sustain myself and get out of the way for the next generation behind me. 

I see some old geezer types that get away with murder on the job, too. Often not working a full day, talking to their buddies or serving the internet while the rest of us slave away as if they are privileged. Some even take naps at their desk while others look away and pretend it's not happening. I wish I could nap when I felt like it at work without consequences!



        There are disadvantages and challenges you will face while you choose to work above you normal retirement age.

(1) You work until you have a heart attack or stroke and are carried out on a stretcher with a sheet over your head.

(2) You work until you are too sick to work and then die of starvation or exposure since you have no money to sustain yourself.

(3) You work until you are sick of working and you commit suicide.

(4) The younger generation after your generation will have limited work to do and it will definitely affect your kids

 

    To sum up, if every worker chooses to work above retirement age, and government choose not to intervene, things will definitely go wrong. The next generation is facing this problem nowadays, especially in developing countries, where they have a very high record of unemployment can simply be refer back to their present working individual, majority of the workers in developing countries were working above their retirement age, and the youth are facing the consequences. Government should do some thing about this evil act by worker who chooses to remain in service till they give up the ghost, because this evil decision is affecting our economy negatively.
