It’s not the immigrants in my case. I was working for General Dynamics Land Systems. They were building a product the Army had been telling them they didn’t want for over 10 years; HEAVY armor. The Army wanted lighter air-flightable tanks. Seriously, GD’s marketing told the Army, “That’s not what you want. You want this.” When Oshkosh, General Defense and Force Protection invested 1.5 billion each and designed tanks on a 6 ton truck chassis the army fell in love. Where did they get the money in the middle of a budget year? They weren’t using the Abrams or Stryker’s so they took all that money and GD laid off half of us. GD still hasn’t adapted and will lay off half the remaining staff in March. Can’t blame that sort of stupidity on anybody but management.
My problem is I’m 60. I’ve had awesome interviews, but no offers. At the companies where I knew somebody inside I found they’d hired somebody younger. (A lot younger.)
