>Ageism: people are not being hired because of their age only and not for any other reason.
>The risk, by the way, is negligible for employees.
What. Employees don't care that they might not have a job? Employees don't care that they might not be able to be paid?
>This doesn't make sense.
Companies don't want to pay for what they don't need. People feel entitled to what they feel they are worth and not necessarily what value they give to a company based on what the company needs. When they have a lot of experience but nothing useful to contribute they blame things which do not factor in at all in hiring.
>What are you basing this on? This reads like a caricature.
I think you are mistaking my snark for me actually asserting things.
>I already addressed this. If you're intent on repeating your original claim, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Whose responsibility is it to fix the apparent ageism if the people complaining about it don't want to do anything to solve their own problems?
