Good luck on a new job. Age discrimination is rampant.

I’ve bumped into that as well. I’ve read that part of the problem is the age discrimination laws meant to protect older folks.

According to that article, those laws make employers reluctant to hire older folks. You can easily fire a new 35-year-old employee who is underperforming. But fire a new 50-year-old employee, that can lead to an age discrimination lawsuit.

Better to play it safe, and just hire the 35-year-old.
