Discrimination against experienced executives over the age of 45!

An executive. 25 years of experience. Paid for an average of 5 years to do nothing. You’ve all heard of this situation. It’s called the “golden closet.” And we pretend to believe it’s a solution. What the golden closet really hides: ❌ A silent struggle for the executive. Someone who has built their career on dedication, reputation, and experience… reduced to waiting. To surviving. To doing the bare minimum. ❌ A waste of human capital for the company. This capital accumulated over 25 years—skills, knowledge, and the passing on of expertise to younger generations—evaporates. No one benefits from it. Not the executive. Not the successor. Nor do the current teams, including the younger generations. ❌ A real cost that no one calculates. Salary + benefits + disengagement among teams who are watching + a deteriorating employer image among younger generations who may refuse to join a company that “fired” their parents. The question isn’t “Is it expensive to keep someone on the sidelines?” The question is: “Why do we still accept this waste when an alternative exists?” Value these committed, reputable, and experienced executives. Support them in transitioning to a new role within the company or embarking on a new life path outside it. Allow them to pass on their human capital before they leave. This isn’t charity. It’s sound management. That’s exactly why WeNold exists. #HumanCapital #SeniorsInBusiness #CorporateCulture #CSR #WeNold #ExperiencedExecutives #WastedTalentWrite your article here...
