Stubborn Baby Boomers
It’s not easy for Baby Boomers to adjust to today’s workforce. Most folks over 55 want the work environment to be the same as it was when they were growing up. It’s a very different world. The rules as older Americans know them, don’t apply anymore. Steve and Lois spell out the facts.
