Are you experiencing discrimination at work because of your age?
Age discrimination
You spent your entire adult life building your career. But instead of reaping the rewards of your hard work and competence, your employer wants to replace you with someone younger. It might be that the employer is trying to reduce its overhead by hiring someone who will work for less. Or it might simply be that your employer is prejudiced against older employees for whatever reason, including negative biases. Whatever the reason, age discrimination at the workplace is unlawful.
Are you the victim of age discrimination?
The laws prohibiting age discrimination presume that employees over the age of 40 are susceptible to age discrimination. If you are over the age of forty, and you have experienced adverse employment actions, or are subjected to discriminatory comments about your age at work, you may be the victim of age discrimination.
The use of age related euphemisms can be particularly strong evidence of age discrimination at work. For instances, phrases such as “that old bat” or “he’s a dinosaur” can suggest that age is a motivating factor in employment decisions made by an employer. Even more subtle statements, such as “I don’t think he is capable of learning this new technology” could indicate age discrimination.
Age discrimination comes in many forms
Age discrimination can take many forms. For instance, an employee may be subjected to harassment, name calling, or other inappropriate behavior because of his or her age. Discrimination in the workplace can also occur when an employee or prospective employee, because of his or her age, is turned down for employment, unfairly disciplined (including receiving negative performance reviews), passed up for a raise or promotion, terminated or laid off, paid less than other employees, or is subjected to other acts that affect the terms and conditions of his or her employment.
