There is a widely-held belief in HR that a worker shortage is coming in the next ten years. It will be due to the retirement of millions of Baby Boomers. The question is: Do you really have to worry about this?
Well, others say that it is not going to be a problem, because Boomers will not all retire at the classic retirement age. Perhaps you can guess why from these choices:
- They love their job.
- They want your job.
- They want to annoy you more.
- They are too poor.
Sure, they like to annoy you, but the real reason is more practical. It’s because they are too poor! They need more money and health care benefits.
So: You do not have to worry about a worker shortage. Instead, you have to worry about the increasing intergenerational conflicts! I'm glad I could clear that up for you. Don’t worry, we’ll help you with the skills you’ll need to weather this. This recent article, for exanple.
