Imagine a workplace where it doesn't matter what age you are to participate, where applicants don't have to hide when they graduated, or act, dress and answer questions in ways they think will make them seem younger and "more employable." #DiversityandInclusion #DiverseWorkforce
“The same systems that reward confidence in male leaders, even if they’re incompetent, punish white women for lacking confidence, women of color for showing too much of it, and all women for demonstrating it in a way that’s deemed unacceptable.” hbr.org/2021/02/stop-telling…

Study finds that a quarter of the tweets analyzed in the 10 days after the pandemic was declared downplayed the importance of COVID-19 because it was perceived to be deadlier among older individuals, and 14% contained offensive content or jokes. thelancet.com/journals/eclin… #Ageism

At the end of 2020, instead of 30 Under 30 and NextGen lists, please profile middle-aged people who just got their big breaks. I want to read about a mother of 2 who published her first novel, a director who released their first studio feature at 47, THAT'S THE LIST WE WANT.

Although certain age-bias terms are banned by the EEOC, they still appear in thousands of job postings, which keep older workers from applying. Companies could be losing out on great candidates with these practices. @geogrify @digitalageist - aarp.org/work/working-at-50-…
Google has agreed to pay out $10M to 227 job applicants who suffered age discrimination. The company will have to set up a committee to address age issues in tech recruiting, as well as training employees and managers about age bias. insights.dice.com/2019/07/23… #agebias #ageism

Today I was asked why we should bother paying interns if they’re “getting experience for their résumé.”
Here’s what we have say about that:

I write a legal blog about age discrimination, which is epidemic and unaddressed. Older workers have less protection under fed. law and few know this bec age discrimination is rarely written about as it is widely practiced in the media. agediscriminationinemploymen….

Blatant #agediscrimination - a call for Freshers, graduates post 2016 , to pack up and work where drafted
So, what's it like, covering #agebias in job listings? Rather depressing, actually. When your inbox looks like:
That's a typical search from @linkedin. While a few of these are not requiring a #digitalnative applicant, the majority are practicing #agediscrimination.
“So often, I see signs that they’re looking for someone younger. Ads ask for ‘digital natives’ and people who ‘live, eat, and dream social media.’” Gordon Gordon Rothman talks with @catielazarus about #ageism in hiring theatlantic.com/business/arc… via @TheAtlantic

Ageism is refraining yourself from doing certain things because of your age.
It’s judging others from doing things you think are not “age appropriate”
It applies to career; relationships; activities. It is a societal problem.
Free yourself from time.
Don’t be ageist.
