Is it selfish for wealthy early retired people to work as their bored?

[robocop666]

we need jobs not some rich dude whos bored.

[Lliam]

No. A wealthy person would probably have skills and knowledge that would make it possible for them to do a job that would be unsuitable to ordinary job seekers, such as serving on the board of a for profit or nonprofit corporation. They might even create a business that would make job available to others.

Either way, they would be contributing to society.

Keeping busy and being useful would benefit them personally and possibly prolong their life. It's better than eating, drinking, and relaxing all day in a plush mansion with servants waiting on them.

Absolutely Not!

Are you trying to chastise people who were able to retire early made good money and now they want to go work again because they wanted to be actual adults productive in society and help out have you looked at some of these worthless poses that call themselves adults trying to work my God they can't work for more than 2 hours without having to sit down or take a break or they need something to eat. I'm ashamed of the way younger people act and their work ethic sucks I'm very proud to be somebody that was raised by a great grandparents grandparents and parents that actually knew how to work and what it meant to be an adult and productive taxpayer in the American society not all these worthless waste of freaking oxygen.

No, it's not. Many retired people end up finding that not working makes them less happy and they want to be more active, so they go for a job they actually like this time and it gives them meaning. It wouldn't be very nice to take that option away from them

[robocop666]

ok but their working cause their bored and you and me got bills to pay

[KostasKouvalis]

Ah it's nice to leave young people unemployed because old fucks like them are "bored"?

[robocop666]

@KostasKouvalis rich men who dont need money working cause their bored.

[KostasKouvalis]

Exactly

[lilBigPotato]

Companies prefer younger people. If an old retired person gets a job, it simply means there was no better candidate.

[Agape93]

Can confirm

[KostasKouvalis]

Maybe in Spain, but not here. There are plenty of jobs young people would love to fill, but they hire old farts because they don't want a discrimination law suit.
What you say mostly applies to volunteer positions. No young person wants to work for free.

[KostasKouvalis]

OMG, YESSSSSSSSSSS! THANK YOU! This should be illegal! They had their run. Give young people an opportunity

[robocop666]

wealthy men working as their bored in a recession is selfish

[exitseven]

Its a free country.
People with no purpose soon whither and die. Its okay that they want to work.

[Anonymous]

No, the youth today are mostly lazy so won't hold down a job

[In_Trance]

No it's not.
You don't want the jobs they're taking anyways

[robocop666]

a teacher in my school worked for free as he was rich.

[Agape93]

So he saved you tax money and did a job you weren't doing

[RedInnocent69]

No. Their experience is added-value. Especially to less mature organizations that couldn’t normally afford it. It’s about scale

[MrChinaski]

There is not a finite number of jobs.

[Iron_Man]

Well they should find a hobby then

[Anonymous]

Not at all.
