Rita (59) was told a week before Christmas that she was being fired: ‘Why now?’

Receptionist Rita lost her job a week before the holidays: “For me it is not the most beautiful, but the most difficult time of the year.” Around ‘the holidays’ there is traditionally a hint of dismissal in the air in many companies, says Anne-Marije Buckens, who has had a company for almost fifteen years with which she helps people over 50 find work.
