Most older adults are worthless after they leave the workforce.

Explanation:

The given case relates to ageism. Ageism, also called agism, is the generalising or otherwise bigotry based on their age toward people or classes. That may be spontaneous or formal.

While the word is often used used in terms of discrimination and bigotry against youth and teenagers, such as refusing them some rights or dismissing their proposals since they are deemed "too immature" or thinking they will act in certain ways due to various their age, the word is primarily used in reference to the representation of elderly people.
