Age? my father was an engineer. After age 60, he tried to help the family. He worked as a dishwasher at the restaurant 7 days / 24 hours a week. As the matter of fact, he worked at night shift over the weekends. He stopped working as he diagnosed with Parkinson decease at age 85. I earned a B.S. in Accounting (3rd degree) at age 55, but hiring managers don't appreciate mature and hard workers.

It's harder than ever to work with the younger generations. I have a hard time relating to the youth today. I have opted to work alone, and I am happier for it.

Colorado Springs has very bad age discrimination.

At least you don’t have to worry about a 50+ year old woman taking maternity leave.

My Mama is 63yrs old and works in a warehouse. She is the hardest working person ive ever known! She has a bunch of young lazy coworkers that do the absolute bare minimum. The young kids in their 20s are so lazy, they dont want to work period!

I lost out on a promotion because my boss said I was not young abd hip enough. That was 20 years ago. My current employer told me I'm too old for my job. How do I please people like that?

I’m discriminated against by age in healthcare. 90 days or less and I’m OUT. It’s also due to my healing, no longer codependent, no longer seeking validation outside of self etc. Nursing is now made up of travelers and agencies. It’s my license on the line yet no one held accountable by me. It’s out of my hands but all my responsibility.

They're kicking the 40s and upper out when older adults have older children and can be at work longer and more days.

I have been a target of ageism

My dad's in his early 50's and he still works, so why not the rest of our elders?

What's odd is that those of us 50ish grew up with the first tech already. We saw the Atari's, the Commodore 64 etc; I was programming mine using magazine code when I was 13! I worked in tech for 25 years, and then, as if by magic, after 50, finding a job suddenly became very difficult. I have blamed myself enough, and after having recruiters confirm it (age bias), those still in the workforce confirm it, and a career coach says, "I present well in test interviews," I'm not so sure anymore. There is a mentality that only people of a specific age range can sit in an office and have meetings to complete digital media work. As for cutting edge, only some organizations have a cutting edge and wish to spend on it. Most are years behind in software versions due to costs, and if you think every corp is a Space X or apple, you are mistaken. Cheers!

Do not contact HR, they are not your friends, they are there to protect the company at your expense.

I'm 55 years old man 👴 🧓 👨

HR is there to protect the company, not the worker. Don't bother going down the HR route.

If you’re seeking for a job after 50 , dye your hair dark, style your hair in a very professional way and dress elegantly and put together every single day. The idea is that managers equate your age with competence, experience and refinement and not old, obsolete, and out of fashion . Appearances do matter unfortunately.

Yeah well they rob older people of their jobs when they are still really capable. I'm 66 and Techie as heck, and the employers won't hire me and I almost DIED unable to afford anything. We older people need to live too.

Language is the least of it. That's just a flashing red warning light. It's practice that really counts. BUT when language is used as a way to buffer a discriminatory environment, that amounts to malpractice anyway

No, the mid level managers want their “entry level” eye candy.

What any likes a drink 🍸 called the rob roy

although you biologically clearly could look either male or female, but there are genderless people based on their feelings or behavior , we should also make ageless orienation to fight ageism , besides feelings or behavior, you biologically clearly could look from another age

What’s new about this? Different generations have been working together since humans have been working? Lol, let’s over analyze Everything!

Sure, add age to the woke.
