I used to work for a federal contractor. It was an "unwritten rule" you had to be at least 40 to work there. It seems to be opposite at other companies these days. I think if you're in the government sector, if you're 40-60, you've got it made. If you're 25-35, they don't want you there.

There are employers out there that feeling the "control" they have over the "little man" I know someone who went down several knotches in the employment arena only to be worked like 8 sled dogs. Was told in the interview one thing and then when hired it was a different story. A 40 hr wk job as promised turned out to be 70+ M-F work week turned out to be every other Sat. Then every Sat. Sorry can't give you 2 days off in a row. Sun & Tues (days off) BUT THE ICING ON THE CAKE WAS....Reported to work at 10:00am (hrs 10-7) and left the following morning at 2:00 a.m. So I agree, don't whine Mr. Employer because you cannot get good people, when you think you can get away with the above because so many people are hurting.
