Yes, extremely helpful
I was going through the phased out for 2 years where I worked. I worked for a company for 28 years and the last 3 years were horrible. I was harassed by 2 bosses, when my health was going bad due to the stress of it, I went to the EEOC to file a complaint. That took almost a year to come up with results of my complaint. I got a copy of my personal file and copy of my EEOC file with a letter stating that I have if right to sue the company. Like you talk about in your video, I had to think about "is it worth it to sue" (the money, the losses, the time spent etc). I decided to resign and leave. My resignation letter stated why I was leaving.
This is a very good video ♥️

Well said Sir. God bless you for this educative video.

So long as the company isn't stupid enough to leave verbal/textural evidence, there is no case. Am I right?

In most cases in most state age discrimination is perfectly legal. When I was in my mid 50’s i decided to go back to work. After filling out about 100 applications and not getting a response I decided to go to truck driving school because the media kept saying there was such a shortage. The first school I went to told me they wouldn’t take my money because there was no way anyone would ever hire me. Fortunately there are companies out there that are willing to give anyone a chance regardless of how many boxes you check. They are just really hard to find

All kinds of discrimination exists in hiring and it is always very subtle that you will not even know about it yet alone could you prove it.

Of course I'm in an 'at will' state, but that still doesn't mean they can get away with illegal practices. Unfortunately, it happens and they use that 'at will' comment hoping to dissuade someone from filing. A few years ago I was told by the (36 something) sales manager that I wouldn't want to work for him since sales had "...changed a lot from what you used to sell on the street corner"....ha ha ha. Had a witness, but I chose to take it as a joke. Then their (very attractive) VPs (a 29/30 something) was extolling the virtues of a new hire she was bringing she's smart, and knowledgeable, and fun, and young...." Young? So, when every VP they promote and hire is under the age of 40, an issue.

Thanks for the informative video. Does market adjustment that excludes older workers fall into age discrimination?

[tylernichols]

Can you do one on Ageism against young employees in a management position?

[lacygorman]

Do you have a vid on PA anti age discrimination

Branigan, I am facing hostile work environment right now after getting reinstated, as they were forced to take me back. I have heard many people within my department tell me I should retire. I was told that a state (public) institution are e exempt from punitive damages? Or does one have to file lawsuits against individuals who are violating the law?

I'm 51 and i live in Los Angeles, California. I work in IT and have been for almost 30 years. Are employment agencies bound by the laws here in Califonria?

[jjg]

i am facing this as i have to work 3 jobs as my main job forces me to be employed for no pay which i have no interest in. My other 2 jobs pay the bills. Why am i forced to keep a job that pays nothing?

[MrJETS]

I'm not gonna tell names but I applied at a restaurant and they would give me interview times when the manager wasn't even there.Im 31 years old and with inflation I decided to work extra and I found out most workers are between the age of teenager to 21.They never called me back or gave me a real interview even though I applied at all the locations in town

[supermelodia]

Also the company try to retire, resign via work comp. It's a huge trap.

I think I am not getting hired after being told to “ come in and fill out the paperwork”. And after doing training Shadowing 2 weeks.
The day came to fill out the w4 etc. in this meeting she said,
Other staff want more clients( children in early intervention) so it could be a couple months until the existing staff is full and I have children for you.”

I told her fine and I could wait. She paid me hourly rate for the training/ shadowing, but now, no response to my emails. I am 66. Her staff is in 30s, 40’s maybe 50.
She had agreed to hourly, set the time to do paperwork and indicated there would be children for me in a few MONTHS. This had not been said and I believe an excuse.
If she hired another before me. I wasn’t actually hired, but let shadow and learn the job and left believing I would hire in now, only to be told no, few months. I am very sure this is about my age. I am completely qualified, BA in correct field and over 20 years experience, and currently working in related field in child care. :(

Laid-off over false harassment accusation by a junior female staff that didn;t like being reprimanded for not informing the project manager (me) of the work she was doing on the project behind my back, almost wasting clients funds. I was laid off, I'm 57, now no one will hire or advocate for me. I'm about to lose my home. All because of a woke LIE.

[elizabethseiden]

At my gym and at my job I have been harassed. The women talk about their mom. It’s really awful!! I was wondering what you would do if you were being bullied and harassed by your coworkers and gym members? Also, at fifty I feel like I’m being targeted more than when I turned forty. I believe that Americans aging are treated like crap and disrespected more these days.

[therrienmichael]

I called a lawyer to bring a case against UPS.

[robinsmith]

It sounds like this only helps after you are hired and not when told you are hired, then long months delay, that sounds like they are waiting for me to just give up. So unfair! So clear!
