Most of the age discrimination I've ever seen has been anti-Boomerism, not specific fixed ages. i.e. it was "people over 30-40" 20 years ago, and now is basical

Most of the age discrimination I've ever seen has been anti-Boomerism, not specific fixed ages. i.e. it was "people over 30-40" 20 years ago, and now is basically mainly against people in their 60s+. I've never (as far as I can tell) experienced age discrimination, and I'm >40 now. There may be passive age discrimination (incompatible schedules for people with families, etc.), but most of the companies I've interacted with have been explicitly pro-family which goes against thag.
- lazyeye 4y agoIt doesnt matter what label you put on it, its still age discrimination.
- rdl 4y agoYes but it means the OP is less likely to experience it.
- lazyeye 4y agoIts interesting how you can make sweeping negative generalisations about one group in society (based on age) and its completely acceptable. But for any other attribute (skin color, gender, orientation, ethnicity) it is considered appallingly ignorant.
