Shrewd companies mine golden-age workforce

Fiona Barry sees absolutely no reason to quit her full-time job with Metasoft Systems Inc. and settle into the “golden” years of retirement.
After all, Ms. Barry — who was hired by the Vancouver-based firm nine years ago at 58 — has the best of both worlds. She not only earns a full-time salary, but rises early most mornings and takes a short walk to her home office, where she works as a sales account manager and takes in a lovely view from her office window.
