In the workplace, there has always been such a law - the law of unemployment at the age of 35.
Many people are particularly puzzled, 35 years old has not yet reached middle age, why do people associate "middle age" with "unemployment"?
There is a saying that is very realistic: "Resigning before the age of 35 is called job hopping; resigning after the age of 35 is called unemployment." ”
In general, unemployment at the age of 35 and unemployment at the age of 40 are similar in nature. As long as they have not yet been promoted to management, they are dismissed by the unit, which proves that they can only "find another way out".
Moreover, with the increasing complexity of the environment, the frequent occurrence of industry problems, and the downturn in offline business, the middle-aged people cannot find jobs and face unemployment, which is a particularly realistic problem.
I once saw such a story on the Internet.
A 39-year-old prime-age man is unemployed, has a second child to support in his family, and his parents who have retired to support him. What's more, the mortgage every month needs tens of thousands of yuan. This made him lose hope for the future.
He said such a sentence, growing so big to suddenly understand that crushing a person, as long as he suddenly loses his job.
A very sad remark. At the same time, he also explained a truth, middle-aged unemployment, is indeed a big problem. And the reasons for this are worth thinking about carefully.

Middle-aged people are unemployed, which is related to "age discrimination".
In this world, there will always be a term of "discrimination". If you are poor, others will discriminate against you. You are not capable enough, and others will discriminate against you. When you are old, others will discriminate against you.
This is a world of "the weak eat the strong". If the ferocious tiger cannot dominate the forest at a young age, it will eventually face the invasion of the enemy when it reaches the period of decline.
In the same way, if you can rise to management after the age of 35 and become a young leader, you don't need to worry about unemployment at all, you just need to think about how to control people's hearts.
On the contrary, there are many honest people who are not born to be the material for leadership, then they can only work at the business level, and there is no chance of promotion at all. And those new young people are often able to replace them in a short period of time.
An HR has said that if someone submits two resumes, one is a 45-year-old doctoral student at a prestigious university, and the other is a 25-year-old undergraduate student at an institution, I believe I will choose the latter. At the very least, the potential of young people is unlimited.
This is the difference.
03
Unemployment among middle-aged people is closely related to "internal competition".
There is no denying that competition can indeed promote the development of the industry. However, when the inward involvement reaches a certain level, it is believed that all competition is nothing more than vicious competition.
Some time ago, I saw a case.
There is a position with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan, which is particularly stable and risk-free, and has provoked hundreds of people to compete. In the end, a thirty-year-old Ph.D. won the stable position.
6,000 yuan a monthly salary, as long as you work hard, you can achieve it casually. But why is the competition so fierce today?
Because there are too many people with high education, there are too many talents of all kinds. When they are all concentrated in a certain industry, the involution will be intensified. Unless it is the golden rice bowl industry, middle-aged people will be eliminated and young people will take over.
No boss doesn't like young employees, and no boss likes middle-aged people with too much baggage. This is the truth.

Unemployment of middle-aged people is closely related to the problem of "industry interests".
In your opinion, is it the middle-aged people who are easy to control, or the young people who are easy to control? Definitely young people are more controllable. Because they don't have much experience, their minds are relatively simple.
In the eyes of the boss, the middle-aged people who have been mixed for many years are too old fritters, easy to play tai chi with the boss, and it is not easy to control. In this way, they will abandon middle-aged people.
What's more, as you get older, middle-aged people are at increasing risk of problems. Young people are different, some are energetic, some are time, and some are youth.
Met a boss who opened a small company, he only said such a sentence, the salary of middle-aged employees is not good, too high will lose money, too little they will lose their temper. In this way, dismissing one of them and recruiting three more young people is the most efficient way to work.
Ordinary people, most of them can only work in relatively small private enterprises. Since the boss's purpose is only to make money, it is expected that they will eliminate middle-aged people.
05
Middle-aged unemployment is related to the fact that "ideas cannot keep up with the times".
Nowadays, when we talk about middle-aged people, the first thing that comes to mind is the word "unemployment".
In fact, we may wish to think about it, when did the label of "unemployment" be engraved on the body of middle-aged people?
In fact, it is when the offline industry is relatively depressed. Most middle-aged people are concentrated in traditional industries. This can easily lead to the situation of "collective unemployment".
When the Internet develops, middle-aged people after the age of 50 are difficult to keep up with the rhythm of the development of the times, then they can only be disconnected from the times and slowly become a stepping stone for the development of others.
There is a saying that is very realistic, a will be a thousand bones.
If someone develops, then someone will definitely be eliminated. Young people have made their fortunes through the Internet, and the middle-aged people offline will also be more or less affected. This is the result of "zero sum".
Therefore, middle-aged people still need to keep pace with the times and accept the new knowledge of the times. In this way, we can make a comeback and break out of a new world.
