...if I keep even one retiree from taking a unnecessary job...
...Yep, I have given my shifts to people "poorer" or "younger" than me many times...
I still don't understand how you can consider the seniority system 'unfair' but then suggest the reverse seniority system as a fair alternative? The seniority system doesn't reward age, it rewards experience. Reverse seniority only rewards age.
What if the 'poorer, younger' person is living rent free with their older parents, eating free food from the fridge? And the older worker wants to help her/his family member because s/he has a job available that their child can't get. It's a situation that has been alluded to in this and other related threads often. It keeps the parents from collecting Soc Sec, and the child from getting an EBT card and defaulting on student loans.
