When the Dream Job Becomes a Nightmare
At 52, you're supposed to have figured things out. Career stable. Reputation solid. Life on cruise control. Then one Friday morning, everything implodes. The call comes: your position at Newsweek-technology editor, dream job, covering fusion energy and artificial intelligence-is being eliminated. Two weeks' notice. No severance. Health insurance gone. Your editor's parting words cut deeper than the pink slip itself: "I think they just want to hire younger people. They can take your salary and hire five kids right out of college." Welcome to the modern economy, where experience becomes a liability and gray hair marks you for extinction. With twins at home, a wife who'd just left her teaching job due to chronic illness, and zero income, desperation makes strange bedfellows. That's how a respected journalist who once interviewed Bill Gates and ran a wildly popular satirical blog impersonating Steve Jobs ended up at HubSpot-a Boston marketing software startup preparing for its IPO. What followed wasn't just a career pivot. It was a descent into corporate absurdity so extreme it triggered an FBI investigation.
