It's true. I see more and more elderly working around me, when they should be living off their pensions.
- And this has a yet another bad side effect: my company has not hired new young workers to train because there is no need - all the retirees keep coming back when they are needed. There is a huge issue with finding a job for young people because there is enough old people working still.
  
  These companies are just pushing the problem to 5 years later, when all the elderly physically can't work anymore.
  
  Agreed.
