Making Things Right
In the end, Alex came back to work for a week. This gave him enough time to fix the problems he had caused. Trent was really thankful, but Alex had a bigger idea to make the company better for everyone after he left. He got Trent to agree to a seminar about not treating older workers unfairly and to put rules in place to protect them from being fired without a good reason.
Plus, Alex pushed for better goodbye deals for people who had to quit. His goal? To gather a good chunk of money for his grandson Andrey’s college fund.
Greener Pastures
After the storm calmed, Alex decided he wasn’t ready to retire. He felt his work skills were at their best right now. The chaos he stirred up in recent times showed his impressive talents and deep wisdom.
But, one doubt lingered – Could he land a new job at 63? In his old job, many saw him as too old. Yet he was firm and eager to keep pushing on.
