Dear
Reader, I am passing on this e-mail that I finally found in honor of a
costomer, who was resently laid-off from her job and who at 55+years of
age is now back job hunting, despite the fact that the company that she
worked for-for many-many years, was very profitable--they still laid-off many people or so I
have been told by her, whom I have no reason to call a liar who more
than likely is not alone in her circumstances to put it mildly.
What’s next for long-term nonprofit founders and leaders who have
devoted their working lives to solving social problems? That’s the focus
of a survey featured this week in the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
“Virtually all of the people in the study, which included some leaders
who have already retired, said they wanted to continue working for
charitable causes as volunteers or in more flexible paid roles,” the Chronicle reported.
“But just over half wondered if they would, indeed, be able to find a
way to contribute after leaving their current positions, an indication
of fears that the nonprofit world might not be ready to make full use of
their skills.”
The online survey of 266 nonprofit employees age 55 and older was conducted by the Building Movement Project, a group aimed at strengthening social-change nonprofits, along with Encore.org and Clohesy Consulting. (See selected stats here.)
Survey results show that nonprofit leaders don't want to retire from
being activists to build a better future. They want new ways to continue
meaningful work – with more flexibility, less stress and
responsibility, and the continued income they need for financial
security.
Check out the full study here:

The upcoming retirements of experienced nonprofit leaders will create
an abundance of executive-level talent, eager to continue contributing –
and pose a challenge to the sector. How can it engage this talent in
high-impact, meaningful roles, both paid and unpaid?
As for the talent, long-term nonprofit leaders are apprehensive about
entering a new, encore stage of life and work, but remain optimistic
about their future. They know what they want even if they may not be
sure how to get it or where they will land.
I'm optimistic, too. I believe that we, as an aging nation, will find
new and innovative ways to make the best and highest use of our
experience. The cost of wasting this opportunity – now and for future
generations – is simply too high.
All best,
Phyllis

Yes, there is something that needs to be over come. After all, there may very well be a name for it, but I do not know it. However, I do remember that feeling of having to explain--'That No, I am not lazy, just unemployed!'
Unfortunately, this is the same thing caused me to stay in a bad job run by dishonest 'Holy Ghost Filled Christians'. It was that fear of unemployment that caused so much problems, but then again, this is why I post so much about jobs.
