Would you recommend CBS News Reporter Leslie Stahl retire this year?

[Trippy Trekker]

Leslie Stahl turned 82 on 12/16/23. From my POV, she still comes across as remarkably sharp! I don’t see any reason for her to retire this year. What do you think?

Is it because of her age or something else?

I don't understand why anyone would work to that age, but some people have a passion for what they do and/or they define themselves by their careers. If that is the case with Leslie Stahl, and she is still good at what she does, I see no reason for her to retire. She certainly has more experience than her younger counterparts and as long as she is up-to-date with current trends she has an advantage.

She's a partisan hack.

As a manger whenever I sat down with an employee who was at retirement age it was always one of two things that kept them around

They couldn't stand the thought of being at home with thier wives all day. Or they had no hobbies. All they knew was work.

And they got used to overtime.

I rarely agree with you, but I will agree with you on this point. I also had employees that were well past retirement age but work was all they knew and they put more into it than their younger counterparts. I was "retired" by my company at 62 due to Covid and I was long since burnt out on my job so I was ready to go. I took the severance package. I had already figured out what defined me outside of my career prior to this happening so I have never looked back.

Based on her ‘60 Minutes’ reports, she still comes across as very good at what she does in spite of her age. She also appears healthy. I can’t pinpoint any reason for her to retire this year unless she wants to.

Always liked her. Young Leslie >

NO

I don't recommend anyone retire who can still do what they love as long as they wish to keep doing it.

 

[Your Star]

I have no idea who this person is.

 

[LouC]

I have no idea who this person is.

Trust me, she has no clue who you are either.

 

[SNOWFLAKE]

Trust me, she has no clue who you are either.

I have a clue as to who one of the two is, but not the other

So you've had no employees stay beyond retirement age because they love their jobs and where they work? Somehow I find that hardly surprising.

Sure. They were in the work is all they know crowd.

 

[Atomic Kid]

Sure. They were in the work is all they know crowd.

And not in the like their manager crowd. Can't blame them.

Hahaha

A real testament to your non-political busy life these days! I think if you catch an episode of CBS ‘60 Minutes’ on a Sunday night, it would ring your bell and jar your memory. ‘60 Minutes’ came into existence in 1968. Leslie Stahl joined the staff as a co-host in 1991; she has appeared in over 1200 episodes.

I wouldn't want her to be president at that age, but she can keep being a reporter.

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

Cinematographer Roger Deakins is seventy-five and is still quite active.
Equally renowned cinematographer Haskell Wexler continued to work till his dying day at age 83.

Both of them have at least one or more Oscars.
Here's the thing about both of them and others of their age and stature:

They're not humping heavy gear in brutal weather and conditions, they're not struggling with traffic jams and ghastly hours and poor nutrition.
When someone of that stature arrives at work, there is no shortage of people who want to help them any way that they can, and they deserve all the help that they get.
They've paid their dues.

Well, I know who I am, so at least I am not clueless.

shrug...

If she likes what she's doing and is physically and mentally capable of doing it...if she brings value to her employers...is see no reason for her to retire.

If any of those things change, then I hope either she or her employers make the change in her employment.

 

[ttwtt78640]

No, unless she wants to.

Oh, I still keep up with things, but why would I ever watch 60 Minutes? lol I'm not trying to destroy my brain with that mainstream corporate crap.

 

[Grogu]

Let’s see Chuck Grassley retire first. He’s way overdue. Only after he is gone should we question anybody else’s motives for not retiring at an older age.

 

[TamleeB]

If she is capable of doing her job in a manner that is productive, and still finds joy in that process, then good for her.
