I was just made redundant. It seems I was too senior for the company. The assumption is they can hire younger guys at a lower cost to do a adequate job so why pay the salary.
There just doesn't seem to be the respect towards what an older creative can bring to a company. Companies are too often run by accountants that just see the dollars and dont have any creative knowledge to really see the difference,
I'm not sure what I'd do for a new career and who would hire a 41 year old with no experience in something new anyway.
I am pretty worried about the future as my partner and I have our first baby on the way and prospects look pretty lean.
