Brad Jenkins, a former Intel technician laid off in mid-2025 after four years with the company, has faced challenges finding new employment in his early 60s. Initially optimistic about retiring at Intel, Jenkins was surprised by layoffs following a CEO change and restructuring. He took a break, using savings and severance pay, and pursued training in electric vehicle charger maintenance to improve job prospects. Despite his efforts, Jenkins finds retirement currently unfeasible and continues his job search.
