Hi All,
Well the new job was not a good fit for my husband. I had my concerns in that regard, but felt unable to say anything to husband last week. I became concerned when hubby said the employer had asked him how old he was. Anyway the ex-employer, was able to replace him with cheaper labor, a person from Mexico. I told him to be kind and gentle with himself and me, and we will get through. Thanks everybody for listening, EJ |

I doubt there's anything you can do about this... probation time of minimum of two weeks usually comes along with any job...and means no questions asked/answered.
  ((TC EJ))) at least maybe he got a new taste of the feel good about working???

Jennie,
The valid business motive is he could get someone else to work for him for less money, and therefore make more profit. Thanks though, EJ |

Hi Bebop,
It is totally illegal to ask about age on an interview. It wasn't a good fit, so no big deal. God will take care of us. Thanks for your sweet note. Hugs, EJ |
