- onemoresoop 3y agoNot sure what win this would be as companies will give zero feedback to avoid incriminating themselves, according to the article. "The company’s recruiter also told him that Exact Sciences Corporation was “looking for someone more junior that can ... stay with the company for years to come,” Sadly it doesn't look like age discrimination will stop, just the feedback will.

- paxys 3y agoIMO a judgement like this doesn't discourage anything, just reinforces that fact that breaking the rules is advantageous and fines are a small cost of doing business.

- sonicanatidae 3y agoNot really. The problem with companies is when there is wrong-doing, it's just pittance fines and ultimately, those fines are paid with other people's money. I wish it was more impactful.
