[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2707102, member: 58386"] I am happy to see that you understand the need for redundancy and are willing to spend the money to acquire and retain it.Yes it hurts the bottom line but you have to do just about anything to get them (X) off your back. As for your other question. The older worker is more conscious of their mortality. Not inclined to take risks not only to themselves but to their employer. Laying around some old beer joint all night and all weekend is something that they may have done in the past but no longer interests them. Their maturity provides them with a greater sense of duty and obligation. Interesting story. A few years back we had a retired US Army veteran and Army civilian employee ( heavy truck mechanic) who out of the goodness of his heart decided to help us out. He was in his late 60"s. The terminal manager sent him and 6 other guys all half is age or less over for physical and drug testing Of the 7 only 1 passed. You know who that 1 person was. The difference between older and younger worker? Judgement, pure and simple. [/QUOTE]
