- eru 4y agoYour link talks about age discrimination in hiring. I was interested in a reputation for firing based on age. (The link about IBM explicitly talked about firing based on age.)

- eru 4y agoThanks. So this suggests that IBM (and maybe Oracle) have fired people for being too old. For Google the complaints seems to be mostly about hiring, not firing. (Just for disclosure: I expected in general to see more complaints about age discrimination in hiring than in firing.)
