covid notes 23

One cannot prove age discrimination, and one cannot accept even a small severance without signing away one’s rights on this score. However, people in their late fifties making age-appropriate salaries are regular targets. Just because one would never be able to prove discrimination or win a case doesn’t mean said discrimination is nonexistent.

  2. I 100% agree. D lost his job at 53. I also could never take a case against people who will not employ me in my 50s, when they say that I was "not the right fit." Which clearly means I am too old.
