Several of my older colleagues (past and present) shared about how their bosses would start bullying them once they were in their late 50s and early 60s, to force them into early retirement. If they need the money, they would have to do menial work following retrenchment.

In the contratry, i see quite many older jlb in their 60s constantly using the mom law to bully their bosses and hr.

You are probably referring to the rank and file unionised workers on the lower rungs. Contrary to popular perception, the PMEs still have very little protection from employers who marginalise and pressure them to leave before the official retirement age. I have seen capable older staff suddenly receive poor appraisals once they reach 60, to force them out of the company.

Only the weak gets bullied in the workplace. I encountered several bosses that tried to bully me and kana hoot back jialat jialat one by me. Leemember they are also an employee. Unless they are the owner of the company, but I wouldn't want to work under such arrangement even if the boss didn't bully me.

With the economy being in such bad shape, lots of us continue to slog under an extremely heavy workload and unreasonable deadlines. Many of us long for the weekend, not to party, but to recover from the rigours of the preceding work week.
