    Every day age discrimination happens behind closed doors. We wanted to see what it would look like if we brought it out into the open. So, we set up a social experiment with the help of a food truck. We disguised an actress as an employee and refused to serve anyone over 40. Watch our hidden cameras and tell us how you would react in the comments below. #DisruptAging

      @@funch357 I heard of a Company that fired or laid off all their older employees and hired only fresh employees. Within 6 months the company went bankrupt because they could not repair or operate their equipment any longer. They letgo everyone that could use and fix it while the companies that made the equipment no longer provided services or had closed their doors years prior.
      Its a sad world when Employers think that the young are smarter than the old.

      Maybe you should initiate more often, if you don’t? They might be just as fearful of you discriminating them based on age as you are of them. I’ve been in some circles of young people who thought the older person didn’t like them just because they were young and so they continued conversations without the older person. Had that older person been friendlier, they would’ve included them. I see mixed-age groups getting along more often than I don’t.

    I work in technology, and the age discrimination is rampant. My solution was to start my own business when I was “laid off” (in spite of superior performance reviews) when I was 42. I was then quietly replaced with someone younger and cheaper. However, self-employment is not an option for everyone since it requires you have the character for it.

    Nobody cares. I got pushed out of my career at 57 and never found a job after that. College degree,30 years experience Icu,ed,nicu,ob,trauma,sub acute,trauma rehab.
    Nearly 1 in 4 workers age 45 and older have been subjected to negative comments about their age from supervisors or coworkers.
    About 3 in 5 older workers have seen or experienced age discrimination in the workplace.
    76 percent of these older workers see age discrimination as a hurdle to finding a new job; another report found that more than half of these older workers are prematurely pushed out of longtime jobs and 90 percent of them never earn as much again.

    My dad could never get stable work again after we moved away from his 25 year job in the local council. And none of the work he got matched his experience.
    He was starting from rung 0 on the ladder again in his 50s despite looking younger and being fitter than some of his coworkers in their 30s.
    My mum was able to get another job easily. But then she was left disabled through medical negligence and he had to become her full time carer.
    If anything happens to her or their marriage, he would have to start again in his 60s.

    YAY!!!! I love this video SOOOOO much. We are the ROCK generation (NOT THE ROCKER GENERATION, PEOPLE!) We simply can NOT sit back and allow ageism to continue. So many other communities and special interest groups have fought for their rights, their voice, their PLACE in our society. The time has come for OUR community to do likewise. SPEAK UP! SPEAK OUT! Whether it's in the workplace, the doctor's office, taking to social media and calling out companies that target our spending dollars by ATTEMPTING TO EXPLOIT our age to get us to buy their products, or DEVALUE us by using stereotypes about us to boost their ratings or sales, CALL THEM OUT! Yes, I am passionate about this issue, and the time for ageism's demise has arrived. I just spoke of this issue on my channel this past week, to help draw attention to it. Also, if you see a positive article or video, post it to your social media so others can begin to hear the message we WANT them to hear. Great job, AARP! LOVE this. Peace! ~Toni 😊💋💚🌺😇

At age 50, mom got a grant for truck driving. She had her own truck, made great memories, met her 2 husband then she lived until she was 70 years old.

The stress in her voice and tone made it clear that I was too old and her eyes. I didn't get the job. I latter interviewed with a major corporation where HR screener told me I was the most qualified person to be interviewed..

Because it's not, that's a major reason I don't join. It's no longer the political lobbying, advocacy, general public education powerhouse it was. AARP was once just as powerful as the NRA! What happened? AARP, return to earlier days of placing ADVOCACY at the top of your priorities list. Today's AARP has gotten too soft.

I have been discriminated against my entire life for not being male. People assume I am slow, stupid or just simply a vapid mess if I am not male. Now, I can't even get a decent job because I am over 40. So, bullshit. I know exactly what it is like to be discriminated against for my entire life. Everything about me has been wrong, so I guess I should be used to it by now, eh? So, go cry somewhere else about your personal brand of discrimination.

      By the way. I'm half Mexican. But I grew up a military brat where all the kids were forward thinking. It was an unrealistic atmosphere. When I went out into the world, I was in for a shock. Called "honey" by men, eyes rolled at when I state my ideas. Passed over for raises. FINALLY, over 40 I'm finding the first people in my entire life who are automatically respectful to me are middle-aged Mexican women in service jobs. I politely ask for something, they say in a I-got-you! look, "Right away, mami." The first time it happened, I walked out to my car and almost cried because I've been noticing before that the younger Mexican women were beginning to treat me with disdain like their mom just walked in. I'm no one's mom but I get all the shit as if I was.
      And the SHITTIEST thing? All these new young people with their new ideals about championing for everyone's rights while still being hostile to older people... They will be older one day and will have a sudden STROKE of GENIUS that they deserve rights as older people and HOW DARE they be discriminated against.

      @yearginclarke Před rokem

      This turned out to be a long comment, but really...in the trucking industry also? That's actually something I'm considering at age 37. I've been an equipment operator in the logging industry since 2014. But honestly I hate running equipment because I prefer being physically active, and the labor jobs in logging I used to do are mostly gone and replaced by machines now. Having said that, I don't really WANT to drive truck...but I'm having really bad luck getting a simple labor job right now. Also I'm single with no family so I figured maybe I could save money driving OTR.
      I've applied for a bunch of entry level construction, plumbing, sawmills, and other types of jobs but none of them have showed any interest in me at all. A few of them sent me emails back the very next day after applying saying they had chosen someone else or whatever. I'm still in shape and fully capable of full time labor jobs. Even though I don't think 37 is all that old, I don't know if they aren't considering me due to age, lack of experience, or if they think I'm gonna be asking for too much money or something? You got me, but it's been really pissing me off.
      So I've been considering trucking because I didn't think age would be a problem there. I still have the logging job, but I'm completely burned out on that after I've spent many years doing long commutes and sometimes camping. There's no way around the commuting with logging, and there's always some bullshit that comes up to delay you from getting home in a timely fashion. With trucking you can drive your maximum daily hours and park, and even with no home time, seems better than working 10 hours and commuting for an additional 4 to 5 hours daily like I've been doing.
