Not being able to get a C-level position is a problem for a very small number of people. Not being able to get a job at all, on the other hand...

  Walmart hires old people as greeters. I'm sorry, you don't get to say "poor old people who get discriminated on" while at the same time saying "young people should be discriminated on" or "it isn't as bad if the shoe is on the other foot". Given the strong reaction I'm getting from mostly old people who want to see discrimination on the young (or at least are happy to justify it) I'm starting to see why the article didn't include both sides. It seems a non insignificant % of boomers want it both ways. And I'm guessing most of their target audience is older.

    If we were talking about discrimination against a large number of young people, I would be singing a different tune. Privileged and well-to-do people seeking “justice” for themselves by comparing their situation to that of other people whose situation is really desperate is unfortunately all too common.

      I just can't get over the fact that the parent poster derailed a thread about people not being able to get jobs - which is jeopardizing their retirement - only to complain about themselves being rejected for a CxO job in their youth. Some really are blind to their privilege and arrogance.

    If you think old people are only good for walmart greeters, then I think your problem with getting a C-level job might be the lack of empathy making you a total liability to hire in anything but bottom rung jobs.
