Treated unfairly at work because of your age?
← Back to Workplace Discrimination Lawyer
Age discrimination can be blunt, comments about retiring or "fresh blood", or subtle, consistently passed over for training and promotion, or oddly high on the list when redundancies happen. Either way it's worth having looked at.
This might be your situation if
- You've been made comments to about retiring, slowing down, or being "past it."
- You've been passed over for training, projects, or promotion, and age seems to be the reason.
- Redundancy selection seemed to skew heavily toward (or away from) a particular age group.
- You're a younger employee being dismissed as inexperienced without a genuine assessment.
