In making decisions, most people seek advice from the people around them. Be it about changing careers, venturing in new relationships, or simply buying make-ups or cellphones, people tend to ask what others think about their concerns. But the question is, are we consulting the ‘right’ people? W...

Google pays $11m to jobseekers who claimed age bias

Google has settled an age discrimination lawsuit concerning its hiring practices. More than two hundred job seekers who were over the age of 40 when they applied for roles at the technology company will receive a settlement of $11m. Forbes' Jack Kelly notes that Google will be forced to train employees and management about age bias, form a committee focused on age diversity round hiring, and ensure age-related complaints are fully investigated to comply with the settlement terms. Cheryl Fillekes, the lead plaintiff in the class-action suit, said she was never offered a job despite being interviewed four times. “Age discrimination is an issue that needs to be addressed in the tech industry,” Ms. Fillekes’ lawyer told Bloomberg, “and we’re very pleased that we were able to obtain a fair settlement for our clients in this case.” Google denies the allegations that it was unfairly dismissive of older applicants, despite having settled the case.

See above.....good that these type of things are starting to be addressed but we have a long way to go in addressing age discrimination in employment.

How to prepare yourself for a good end of life

This is a great article. Good to think about these things. Do you agree?

My parents lived good lives and expected to die good deaths. They exercised daily, ate plenty of fruits and vegetables, and kept, in their well-organized files, boilerplate advance health directives. But when he was 79, my beloved and seemingly vigorous father came up from his basement study, put on...

I was the face of NYC news for 27 years. Now I’m being pushed aside because I’m a 61-year-old woman

Age discrimination is rampant in all industries. These are brave women for fighting it!

NY1’s Roma Torre has spent 3 decades in TV, winning 2 Emmys. But when she lost opportunities to men and younger women, she was told “That’s just the way it is.”

New Evidence of Age Bias in Hiring, and a Push to Fight It

Interesting article. There is no doubt that there is age discrimination in hiring. The problem is that it is hard to prove the way the laws are. This should be changed. Do you agree? Have you experience age discrimination in your job search?

Digital recruiting is leaving more of a forensic trail in discrimination cases. But a wave of litigation is running up against higher legal hurdles.
