So easy to see the other side of all of these "complaints". Sounds to me like they just want to get paid. I've worked in Tech all my life...so it ain't like anything there is groundbreaking.
Just like any other walk of life INCLUDING football...if your employer thinks they can get your job done with someone younger and cheaper, they will. In a heartbeat.
Umm... Actually, Mr Melvin, among the myriad stupid things you've ever posted here that's right up there. Discrimination against people over 40 is just as federally illegal as discrimination against blacks. It's referred to as a 'protected group'. What you just said is "Meh, I've been working in Alabama for years and I've seen it a million times. If management doesn't want darkies, they just get fired. Nothing to see here, just move along."
Sigh....
....so now I'm the same as a KKK member.
I thought I'd seen some amazing thing here on .net...but wow. Hyperbole out of control.
Actually if you expand what your saying yes.
Example,
Manufacturing, lets keep younger workers with better dexterity and wages, nobody older then 28, but nobody younger then 23, youngsters have bad attendance and we don't get the return on training.
Construction, strength and stamina decrease after 40, so no workers over 40.
Across the board no workers over 50, they begin to have medical issues and require time off to address them.
Women, they have babies and monthly cycles that cause them to miss time, they also have emotional swings that can create personality conflicts, require all women that would like to be employed to have hysterectomy's and a no adopt clause.
People of color, the stats show people of color have a higher arrest record then those that are white, can't hire those either.
It can go on and on, that's why we have anti discrimination laws, age, race, gender, orientation, they are not enforced as they should be and corporations and governments are not standing up for those that it is being applied to, but that will come around again. People Like York and others are getting more blatant in who they look down upon, those ivory towers will crash down at some point.
