Actually his bosses have been complaining that he has been in that position to long.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

He might want to look into an age complaint with the EEOC then.

That's what we were wondering.  He may consult a lawyer, but knowing my dad, he may not.  He's a pretty passive guy.

Since he is passive, remind him to grab every benefit available to him. He's paid taxes all this time so it's his time to grab everything not nailed down.

Shit, Raz.  :(  How's your mom getting along with your dad/the family?  Is she working?  Is your brother still drinking away his wages, or is he likely to be able to contribute at some point?

Sorry Raz. :(

Given the job market and his age, lawyering up might be wise. What field does he work in?

Exactly as much as those workers think about him.

Nonsense.  In these days of 401Ks lots of workers want him to do well.

Sorry Raz.  Is there SS in his near future, at least? :unsure:

Mother still taking classes online, brother still an abusive drunk.  We'll probably lose the house. Hopefully we'll have somewhere to live after that.  The big problem is health insurance, he's on a lot of meds from several brushes with death.  Heart attacks, diabetes, flesh eating bacteria (no seriously).

He is (was) a computer programer.

I don't know, I don't think he can even fit in his old uniform, besides the old ODESSA network is pretty slim these days.

It may not be at the wages he once had, but I don't think he'll have a problem finding a job.

Unless he's been doing it all this time without getting any industrial certifications because he didn't need them as he's worked with the technology since it came into existence, like somebody else I know.
