“Even though they say there is a labor shortage and the company will go bankrupt．．．” People in their 50s and 60s who want to work won’t be hired！ I empathize with the lament of a woman in her 50s “It’s a contradiction that there is a labor shortage yet the companies are so picky about who they hire．”
※10/15 (Tue) 7:10am Maidona News “Even if they say they’re going bankrupt because of a labor shortage, isn’t it because they’re not hiring people in their 50s and 60s who want to work, and are looking for people in their 20s and 30s? In Japan, there’s an age limit for anything you do, and even if you apply, you’re rejected. ” A post lamenting the difficulty of job hunting at around 50 years old, despite the supposed labor shortage, became a hot topic on x (formerly Twitter). The post was made by Aun (@mooz9paufksbgoo), a woman in her fifties who is currently looking for a job. Although she is searching for work that makes use of her experience and qualifications, her applications are not going through the roof and she feels like she is being rejected because of her age. Having seen reports that the number of companies that had gone bankrupt due to labor shortages in the first half of the year (April to September) had reached a record high of 163, he tweeted his mixed feelings as a job seeker. This lament was met with a flood of comments expressing sympathy. “This is the result of only thinking about using people cheaply.” “Even here, people in their 40s are forgotten at the end of the ice age.” “The contradiction of being picky about workers despite the labor shortage…” “I wonder why inexperienced people in their 20s have an overwhelming advantage in recruitment compared to people in their 50s who have technical qualifications.” “This is the result of only thinking about using people cheaply. Don’t people understand that they won’t move unless they are paid a fair price?” “Even at the workplace where I worked until September, I heard that they don’t hire new employees over 40, even if they have experience. The person who joined was a 23-year-old girl with no PC skills. “I knew it was a Showa-era company with nothing but pride, but what is it trying to do when it’s making huge losses?” “The reason they decide on people in their 50s and 60s, some of whom are more productive than people in their 20s and 30s, is because they don’t want to bother searching for talent. “They don’t realize that if they carefully select people at the entrance, the productivity of the entire workplace will increase and it will also lead to good interpersonal relationships.” “The end of the ice age for 40-somethings is forgotten here too.” “It’s like a comedy skit about companies that want long-term employees looking for people in their 20s and 30s, and then go bankrupt due to a labor shortage lol. Companies that can’t respond to the crisis in front of them are destined to go bankrupt.” “If you hire the ice age generation, you can avoid the immediate labor problem, and you can think about the next step in the meantime, but there are many outdated companies that are all about new graduates and young people.” Continued below.
>>1 This has been going on for a long time now, with the mass media blathering about labor shortages, so why are you only just realizing this now? Are you a grade school dropout or an idiot who can’t understand the truth until it happens to you?

That’s because what’s lacking is young, work-ready talent. Talented people in their 50s and 60s don’t even need to go job hunting; they’ll just ask you for work.
Even if you feel like it’s what it deserves, job openings are filled with younger applicants first. The more companies that go bankrupt, the fewer jobs there will be.
Japanese companies are run by idiots and idiots work as full-time employees. They insist on abolishing dismissal regulations and talk about labor mobility, but how do they plan to get mid-career hires to work?
Once you’re over 30, you can’t take the lip service from the government and the media at face value. You have to realize that older people aren’t wanted. Only a special kind of person can make a happy career change in their fifties.
There is no such thing as a labor shortage causing bankruptcy; if you can’t find enough workers, you just go out of business. In other words, the only places that go bankrupt are those whose business is so bad that they can’t pay wages.
How long would it take for someone with no experience at that age to become somewhat useful? Companies have something like a blueprint for their training plans, but ultimately it’s a matter of luck whether or not it all fits together, of course.
I really think so. It’s not a shortage of manpower. This is my personal experience. We can afford to spend money and time on the selection process to choose the right people.
Even if they have experience, they have their own way of doing things and their own rules, so they don’t follow the company’s way of doing things, so I’m not saying this is true for everyone, but it’s easy to teach young people because they don’t have bad habits, but they quit easily and they’re too dismissive of society, so it’s not surprising that they would consider closing down the company rather than go through the trouble of hiring them.
When a company goes bankrupt due to a labor shortage, it means that it can’t offer better labor costs than other companies, so no one comes to work for it.
Even if there is a labor shortage, we don’t want incompetent workers. During the Showa era, they said “globalization is the future” and hired a lot of people who could speak English. They could speak English, but they ended up hiring a lot of incompetent people who couldn’t do the work, and they went bankrupt lol.
