CONCEPT:
Another alternative to downsizing that companies are choosing to do is early-retirement. Companies are offering incentives to older workers to retirement so younger lower paid workers can work there way up the company ladder. One of the many problem with this is that some times more then they want to decides to accept the incentives and go into early-retirement.EMOTIONAL HOOK:
I don't think I would like it as an employee that I would be expected to move up in the company do somebody else's work for less pay.
KEY POINTS:
Companies need to cut down on cost. People who have worked for companies the longest get paid the most. When long term employees leave they take a lifetime of knowledge.
FACILITATED QUESTION:
It's true that companies need to do something to lower cost, but what is the true cost of having the older generation out of the work force?
