I feel this point gets repeated to ad nauseam here but I'm curious if people actually see this in their line of work. From my experience there are very few 65+ in the work force and those that remain are not in management or holding up younger generations.


I can confirm a couple examples on my team of 20, so 10%. A female manager finally retiring just short of 70. 5 years ago, I loved her as a manager, but the decline was swift and her presentations to other company leaders have been embarassing since and hurt the team. Another is a male at 65, performing at 30 percent less than others on the team, yet complains about workload, poisons the well, and makes more than better performers.

ETA: I would sit around and have beers with both and have, good people but past time to leave the workforce.

Fair enough, and makes sense. I think we are both referring to proper planning and the effects of same. If you plan, you can enjoy life.

Young(er) people need to live below their means, invest the difference in cash generation assets and let the 8th wonder of the world (compounding interest) do its magic for them. Let those compounding $ work hard for them.

Your choice.


Doing all this and will retire before 50, Im ahead of the game. Does not change the fact that old people are hurting work places. Leave and go do something else already.
Old people need to retire and get out of our way. People working at 65 or above are holding up the progress of younger people. It is a real issue. Their performance slows yet they hold their position as protected class. If you work in a role past 65, you are doing damage to the company and the younger more versatile talent. Retire and go enjoy life.

Not sure of reason for the hate, Summer League is a decent watch. Id go to a game or two if I was in Vegas.
We need to go back to sports gambling only in Nevada (yes I know Oregon had some weird lottery pass thing).
Is this still under investigation, could not tell.

This, you get used to it and it is part of the game. If youre under 45, you have played Fifa and probably a lot.

I'm sure there's a very good reason they didn't mention how much the costs they are trying to recover are, and I'm sure SLEMCO members will pay the extra for the entire 12 months.


You can look it up at the LPSC, the order is public record and includes the amount.
It is in an LPSC order signed 4/2/26, the details of the case are included. The case was filed in December 2024.

Unfortunately, the public at large eats their shite up which is why they are getting the money that they do.


Yea I really dont understand why or the value. Youll find out eventually anyways.
All of these newsbreaking positions are dumb.
This is a CT based board. ET historically sucks for sports. Nothing new.

Also, what good career job requires someone to wake up at 5am?

Austin wouldn’t succeed with NHL. Too many progressives that hate hockey


We need to stop pretending Austin deserves a pro team, outside of soccer. Let them stick to their music.
This is fantastic news and the response letter from General Counsel was gold.
