Strongly disagree.
I happen to be in the same general category as the author (older actually), and I've never experienced that.
Quite the contrary as a matter of fact: the grey beard factor often gives you an authority that's very often not deserved and can be annoying in meetings were free flow of information (as much as that ever exists) is important.
- khill 4y agoIt feels like ageism is more pronounced at startups and tech companies - at least, that is my perception based on real world and online discussions. I'm 50, work at a large, established manufacturing/distribution company and haven't experienced any ageism that I know of. I also work with a lot of engineers from external vendors and don't see a lot of people much younger than me (except as junior roles at contractors).
