Not here in America. They just try to get rid of us as fast as possible in the good paying fulfilling jobs. Yes u can be a masters level degreed Wal-Mart greeter at minimum wage but nothing else. We have no value to the American corporations.

Sad to say, good words and intentions not withstanding, it the same everywhere.

Well age discrimination is alive and well. I just lost a promotion. I have two times of education, experience and skills and still lost. I now have to work under a person 1/2 of my age with less of everything than me. I do not even know how to deal with this. I have worked with him as a co-worker for 5 years. He has made numerous bad comments about OLD people so I know I am on my way out. He will find anything to take care of this PROBLEM he sees.

I'm sorry to hear about this, but am not surprised. I got booted out last year. My heart goes out to you.

Younger managers have demoted me in favour of a younger person. Gathering evidence for eventual tribunal.
