Please don’t take my points above as all-inclusive! I can imagine cases where individuals (for whatever reason) have an instinctive bias against older employees. That’s unfortunate, and it means they can lose out on excellent talent by evaluating people in terms of questionable generalizations instead of their specific circumstances. The funny thing is...as the developed world’s population ages they’ll have to unlearn that bias.
