    This one hits home for me, I've been age discriminated against in starting in my mid 20's and 30's. Employers have told me I'm "overqualified". We're all going to age.

    It's money they can pay a college grad $50,000 instead of a 60 year old $150,000.

    I remember about 20 years ago, K Mart got into trouble because they wanted a younger look, so they set about getting rid of workers who were older than 40.

    Way to many people are loyal to a company and then get the boot. Start your own business

    You see the problem is he wasn’t the boss. Create your own business now you’re the boss you can’t be forced out unless you bought out. that’s why I created my own company so I’m not like this guy many years later.

    It's funny because all of these young kids want to work from home and phone it in.

    The company I work for is a rarity nowadays. It’s a privately-owned worldwide company. The owners r in their 80’s & still come to work daily. Many employees r in their 60’s & 70’s. It’s also a family-oriented, racially and age-diversified place. A great number of employees’ children/nephews/nieces interned or worked summer jobs in the company returned to work there as FT employees.

    It's real. Even if you are up on tech skills, it's about money. One recent study showed most recruiters are between 25-44 and they frown on older workers. I knew before watching he went into real estate, the "literal dumping ground" anyone with sales skills. Over 40, you have to start your own business or consult (if you can.)

    I never ask myself why I didn't get the job. Instead, I ask: What did the one who did get it have over me now or for that matter even in 850 quadrillion years from now? Nothing, except that there are 23 . . . . Maybe the secret is just say hey I am 23 and nobody else is, when do I start ?

    Age is a big deal for any company and organization you need to work harder
    You need to probe that you can handle any task also the management they blocked you in training as my supervisors did to me in food industry and retail industry because the race, age and favoritism to their same race and age. In many cases is impossible even apply for a better pay rate in same company knowing that you have and proven better skills. Specially managements from Hispanic background and supervisors under DACA program mistreat you just for not being their race, friends, younger as them.

    Too many people think that a catastrophic loss of electrical power across a large area is unlikely. They're wrong. It's not a matter of if, but when it will happen. Older people know how to work in a world without technology. Younger people don't. If there is a long term power outage affecting the any significant portion of the US, especially in the large population centers, we're going to need old farts to help put things back together and keep things running while the youngsters figure out how to get the power back on so the tech will work again. It's amazing how many people don't have a telephone any more. You know, the 70 volt twisted pair kind. Of course, all of that goes to digital switching stations now. So unfortunately, they'll go down too when big data centers go down.

    "Felt betrayed " ? The first mistake was being loyal. I'm curious to know the age demographic of this type of behavior. Those doing the discrimination. I'm pointing the finger at Gen X , developing the ruthless work ethic and biting the hands that fed them. Which was mostly boomers, then they proceed to discriminate the boomers or older Gen X, so I guess its not a solid category, but perhaps a geographic variable. East and West coast culture? Any ideas? I'm just saying I highly doubt millennial would ever treat people his poorly.
