Author Terry McHugh says, “My intention is firstly to help you keep out of trouble in the workplace; and secondly to help you when, as is almost inevitable over a long working life, workplace trouble finds you.” Close to retirement?Experienced and older workers, mainly Gen Xers and especially Baby Boomers who are about to retire, have even more to lose than younger workers. Disaster can strike any employee at any time.
