I'm 43. This article hit a very strong point. I remember being told point blank at 32 (by a boomer company owner) that even though I was doing the job and had the capabilities, I simply wasn't old enough to be high level management yet. So a short time later I offered my resignation, and he responded by trying to give me a substantial share of the company with the option to buy out the rest over the next decade..... Hilarious. At any rate, I'm not threatened by companies that won't hire people my age. I've seen plenty of people my age that have grown fat and grey and are burnt out and lazy with the spark gone out of their eyes. But I've also seen enough to know that time keeps marching on, and the foolish and trivial is shaken out before very long. Many of these types of companies won't be around long enough for the law to take action. Those that do last will find they are soon enough full of... fat grey middle aged people protecting their jobs and going to meetings.... I happen to agree that young people are on average smarter. (As in mentally faster). But if one is exceptionally mentally fast to begin with, another person does not automatically become mentally faster by virtue of youth alone. And as for bad judgement and a misunderstanding of how the world works.... well, that's a subject for another post...
