The article addresses the concerns of an individual who started a new job at 58, facing a significant wage reduction and younger colleagues. It emphasizes that self-worth is unrelated to age or job title and suggests strategies to navigate feelings of inadequacy. One key strategy is to focus on creating one's own narrative, choosing which life experiences to share. The author reassures that age may provoke different reactions from colleagues, and that one is not alone in facing job market challenges.
Your worth isn't determined by your wage, it isn't determined by your job, or your age or even how good you are at your job.
Remind yourself that what your coworkers think about you is none of your business. People rarely think about us as much as we think they do.
