The President of our company will retire in a few months and that will make me the oldest person in the company (59). The company I work for is definitely not female friendly (especially to us older ones).
In the last 2 years or so, we're hired about 20 people. I would say all (except for 1) are in their 20's and early 30's. In addition, the boss I've had for 8 years transferred to another department so my new boss is younger than my kids.
I try to take it one day at a time and try to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Has anyone else been in my situation and how did you deal with the waiting until you could retire?
Thanks for letting me vent.

My advice is to take up some new hobbies, take a class, join a group of like minded people, and do anything to make you bloom where you are planted. Most of us would tell you that they were fairly happy THERE and very happy HERE.
Don't waste the time you have now in good health wishing for something down the road.
I have been told this by smarter people than me over time and didn't pay much heed.
