在新加坡,六七十歲的安哥、安娣還在做工,似乎是一件很平常的事,可是,最近情況好像有變?
在本地某知名網站,有一名長者訴說了自己因年紀大而求職不順的經曆。
“我在找工作,盡管我在這一行工作經驗豐富,可是找了一年半了還沒有找到。中介對我說,他們的客戶只招35到40歲之間,或者更年輕的人。所以,如果他們知道我已經50歲了,就算符合工作要求,他們也不會考慮。
我認爲公司沒有權力以年齡爲借口拒絕雇傭一個人。很多人雖然50多歲了,但卻身體健康,看起來也很年輕,年輕人能做的很多工作,他們也完全能做。
我覺得政府應該制定法律禁止這種年齡歧視。年紀大並不意味著工作就不行。對于那些負責招聘的人來講,我想說,你們也有50歲的時候,到時候如果這個社會說,你太老了,我們不再需要你,你會怎麽想? ”
In Singapore, 50 years old already can’t get a job?
I have been hunting the job one and half year, even though I have had much experience in the field. But the job agencies told me their clients (companies) only want to hire max age range 35 to 40 or younger. So once they told them is 50, I will not given an opportunity although I meet the job requirements. I do not think that companies have the right to use age ad an excuse to refuse employment. There are people who are over 50 and have excellent health, look youner than their age and can perform as well as a 30 years old.
I think there should be laws to stop this age discrimination. An older person does no make her/him an inefficient worker. For those in charge to hire staffs, eventually when you reach 50 years old and the society tells you that you are not wanted, how would you feel?
Disappointed
看本地網友反應:
Justin Judith:是這樣的。我20多歲的時候,經常納悶:爲什麽我們這行沒有50多歲的人呢?我以前還以爲他們都退休了,現在才知道,他們失業了!現在的人結婚都晚,如果35歲結婚,孩子上小學的時候,他們就失業了….這太可怕了! !
Ke Yi Yong:歧視無處不在。有些工作就是有年齡的限制,沒必要質疑,就接受吧,畢竟,你不可能永遠年輕、有活力。
Rick Zi:對于政府來說,這個老人不算失業,而是退休,因爲他已經6個月沒有做工。所以,那幫蠢貨還以爲我們的失業率很低。
JackJack Attack:從政吧,這樣到90歲你也可以當議員,就算你什麽也不做。
