You have spent much of your professional career securing the success of other people’s companies, and then, disaster strikes. You get a rare heart condition that forces you to leave your job. When you are well again no one, not one company or person will even look at you sideways. They don’t want to take on your medical liability, they would rather hire a young 25-year-old, who in all honesty, will work longer hours for less pay. Or, maybe the company will hire two 25-year-olds, then, they won’t have to offer benefits at all. |
