Bern and Sue...you gotta be kidding girls re Princess Anne. Anne who legendary told all the media to "Naff off!! and a host of other PR misdemeanours, would not be ideal material for the number one PR job in the UK. You need someone calm and good natured at the helm of course.
But another bit re Ageism. I caught most of the Despatches programme last night C4...and the bad news is, if you are over 50 looking for a job you can damn near forget it. Nobody wants to know. If you are over 60 you have a snowballs chance in hell of getting a job and its increasingly difficult holding on to one if you have it.
Its not that these people cant do the work..its more and image thing. nobody wants a workforce full of geriatrics, its bad for the image. The top 100 companies have,as featured on programme, only one person over 50 and an average age of 34. I think Ive go those figures right. So there you have it.
Even though Im no spring chicken myself I can understand this move towards youth. Take image concious BMW for example..you yourself wouldnt want to walk into their reception area and be met by two harradan receptionists, one 67 and the other 72 ! ...no
So before the Queen starts to look too old in the job its time to vacate.
