Rebecca Danigelis loves being professional and precise. A hotel housekeeping supervisor for years, hair coiffed and makeup in place, she checks that everything in a room is just so. “You take things that look like nothing and make them look great,” she says. Then the hotel decides to reorganize and eliminates her position. At 75, she feels like she was “tossed away,” with little prospect of employment.
