Dear Sir,
I would like to keep my question anonymous.
I am 50 years old. I have a good position in the company but I am not top management.
More and more, I find myself being sidelined and younger people’s opinions and ideas have more value.
I work in a hotel group.
I have sat down with my seniors to find out if they are unhappy with my work but they assure me it is not so.
Personally, though, I am unhappy as I feel irrelevant.
I do not wish to stop working nor am I in a position to start out on my own as I have two children studying abroad and aged parents and in-laws to take care of.
The more unhappy I feel, the more I feel I am performing badly.
How do I get out of this problem?
Would be grateful for any advice you can share.

Ans: Hi,
It was a destiny to take a sabbatical leave for 5 years which has left you behind from others. You have to get rid of this mentally and give your best efforts towards your job and profession as destiny and luck will change one day and you will be in a better position in life.

Ans: pl continue in the current job .do your best to get fast promotion .

Ans: You have identified the problem correctly. You can either disregard that feeling of being junior and enjoy what you are doing and prove yourself as the best. Other than that you can start something on your own. There are no other options I feel. Regards and best
