12 Signs of Age Discrimination in the Workplace

Many employers give their older employees poor performance reviews several months prior to firing them in order to protect themselves from a wrongful termination lawsuit. However, if performance reviews are handed out unfairly and do not reflect the employer’s actual satisfaction with an older employee’s work, the fired employer over 40 may still be entitled to file a wrongful termination claim alleging age discrimination, The Los Angeles discrimination attorney Matthew Kaufman at the Kaufman Law Firm explains.

  1. 12 SIGNS OF AGE DISCRIMINATION in The Workplace

  2. Be alert to these 12 signs of age discrimination at work and contact a Los Angeles age discrimination lawyer as soon as you notice any of them: ● Hiring large numbers of young people while proposing early retirement to older employees or eliminating positions held by workers over 40. ● Talking about the “culture” or fresh blood of the company or mentioning something about cultural differences between younger and older employees. ● Joking about age or making humiliating comments about older workers’ future retirement plans.

  3. ● Speaking slowly and loudly when talking to older employees, thinking that they are suffering from hearing loss. ● Making jokes about older employees’ physical abilities such as typing slower than younger workers, grasping for air after walking up stairs, etc. ● Reassigning older workers and/or giving them unpleasant tasks, in a way to force them out of the company. ● Keeping older workers away from clients, and allowing only younger employees to communicate with clients and customers. ● Giving poor performance reviews solely because of age.

  4. ● Hiring only “digital natives” or “social-media savvy” employees, implying that only younger people are qualified to do this job. ● Older employees get turned down for a promotion more frequently than younger employees. ● Leaving employees over 40 out of the decision-making process and removing older workers from meetings or other work-related activities. ● Putting older employees on an employee improvement plan despite the fact that the employee’s performance has been good and he or she has had no history of wrongful behavior or anything that would violate the company’s policies.
