If he used the exact quote saying that he wasn’t going to hire any “old people”, isn’t that grounds for an age discrimination lawsuit? I know he could hire whomever he wants but to blatantly state that in front of you is shockingly demeaning to say the least(not to mention possibly illegal).
Therein lies the problem of whether to sue them and completely kill my chances of employment anywhere else or just keep telling about my experiences. Age discrimination is rampant now. Look at who is getting laid off, it isnt the cheap college grads, it is the knowledge base that gets the better pay. Go into any corp office anymore and just look around. There is nobody in there over about 35 years old. I went to a large trade show a week ago in SW Kansas. There was not an experienced company representative in the place. Nobody at the booths but kids who had no idea about their companies or products.
When they dont know, then they try to lie their way out and feed you BS. I finally told one kid. That is not true, I work with those people, and I KNOW for a fact that they do not do business with your company. He was just standing there blinking as I walked away.
