Whistling past the graveyard.
Keeping your skills up is necessary, but insufficient.
Over 50? Welcome to the top of the layoff list.
The baby boomers are getting kicked out of the workforce.
There has long been worry about what will happen
when the boomers retire in large numbers.
Well, it may be happening early.
Good luck to us all.
What this tells me is that when you reach your (conventional) prime earning years, your "hard" skills focus should start tilting towards things that will help you entrepreneurially.
The reality is, once you hit 30, if there's a tangible "layoff list" anywhere you work, you have a serious career risk you should mitigate.
