The law in my state defines ageism as discriminating against people over forty.
Fun fact! I complained at a job once because I was up for promotion and instead they hired a 22 year old with no experience vs my 11 years experience in the field and my boss accused me, a 35 year old, of ageism against this 22 year old person.
Funner fact! It wasn’t actually ageism on my part but sexism on their part, because I happen to be a 35 year old woman and they chose to hire a 22 year old boy to be my boss. Then they asked me to train him. Then they fired me.
Doesn’t this violate the equal protection clause?
Because our laws are written by the elderly, ageism is legally defined as discrimination against old people.

What a horrible workplace this was. I’m really sorry to hear about that. May all of these terrible workplaces go bankrupt!
Yikes. I’m sorry
