That's old #agediscrimination that's omnipresent in the Indian IT sector. Many accept it, people just do not talk about it.

There is a doom coming for Techies:

#agediscrimination can be defeated

Cheers!

In 2012, plaintiff Bobby Dean Nickel filed an employment discrimination lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary, Staples Contract & Commercial, Inc. The lawsuit alleged that Nickel’s 2011 termination was based on his age (over 40). In August 2013, the trial court denied summary judgment on the age discrimination claim, but granted it as to all other claims. On February 26, 2014, after trial, the jury returned a verdict in plaintiff’s favor, awarding him approximately $3 million in compensatory damages and approximately $22 million in punitive damages.

The Company filed a series of post-trial motions asking the trial court to vacate the jury verdict and order a new trial or, if the verdict is not vacated, to reduce the amount of damages awarded through the process of remittitur. The trial court granted judgment notwithstanding the verdict as to the punitive damages assessed against Staples, Inc., reducing the total judgment to approximately $16 million . The trial court also awarded Nickel approximately $1 million in attorneys’ fees and costs.

The Company filed an appeal with the California Court of Appeal in November 2015 and the matter was heard in April 2016. On May 26, 2016, the Court of Appeal ruled against the Company, and subsequently denied the Company’s Request for Rehearing. On July 5, 2016, Staples filed a Petition for Review with the California Supreme Court. On July 19, 2016, Nickel filed his Answer to the Petition for Review and on July 28, 2016, Staples filed its Reply to Nickel’s Answer to the Petition for Review. The Supreme Court denied the petition for review on August 10, 2016. Staples subsequently paid approximately $22 million to satisfy the outstanding judgment, including interest and Nickel's attorney's fees and costs.

tag it properly :-( #AGEDISCRIMINATION

Are you over 35? If yes, get ready for a layoff...

"I am not very pessimistic, but it is a challenging task and I tend to believe that 60-65 per cent of them are just not trainable," Capgemini India's chief executive Srinivas Kandula said. "A large number of them cannot be trained. Probably, India will witness the largest unemployment in the middle level to senior level."

Can we tag this appropriately #AgeDiscrimination

Not so much a layoff, but a trimming of the gray.

Heard that US HW and Tech sales have been pushing out sales reps and KADs, specifically targeting anyone over 55 regardless of performance.

I'd say it's #agediscrimination at it's best. We've had this happen before. We'll see what happens now, as they have 2000 people to lay off - I wander how many white males over 50 will be laid off - they tend to make the most, and are always a good target for cost savings.

Don't get me wrong, I know that this issue is not happening here at Hershey's only - it's a thing that plagues all large corporations today.

#AgeDiscrimination

My husband was the oldest and possibly highest paid ASM as well. Odd, that he just got a raise 3 weeks ago. Strange. Now, we feel he fit both of those categories, oldest and highest paid. Yesterday he got a call and they asked him to come back and interview on the 27th. He will pass. I think the if enough ASM's that were let go together they would find age is the common denominator. That could get sticky for Lowe's if it's true.

Check this out - thelayoff.com/h/agediscrimination or #agediscrimination - this site is peppered with cases of discrimination, across the corporate america

So this will give some people an idea of the department I work in... But one the less... The last town hall we were told that diversity was a problem and that, as we knew (we did?), that they were working to solve "the white problem" and look to bring in some young people who can relate to the customers better. He actually said GenX. Lol... Someone should tell him that's not young anymore. I think the way this company is going is going to kill it faster instead of saving it.

Now I'm joining the lawsuit!

For the last couple of years, HP has been executing so called WFR - Work Force Reduction. I was hit with it at end of July this year. During my 10 years at HP/HPE I only received great reviews, was well recognized by the clients I worked for. I'm 69, but wanted to work for another 2-3 years. Now I'm joining the lawsuit!

Age Discrimination Class Action Suit against HPE

#AgeDiscrimination Class Action Suit against HPE (San Jose Mercury News 8/23/2016): PALO ALTO -- Four former employees of Silicon Valley icon Hewlett-Packard have filed an age discrimination lawsuit alleging they were ousted amid a purge of older workers. The layoffs began in 2012, before the company broke in two, and would eventually hit tens of thousands of workers. The goal "was to make the company younger," said the complaint filed Aug. 18 in U.S. District Court in San Jose. "In order to get younger, HP intentionally discriminated against its older employees by targeting them for termination ... and then systematically replacing them with younger employees."

HPE Age Discrimination Class Lawsuit

"O'Neil Cannon Hollman De Jong & Laing S.C." is working on class action lawsuit for Age Discrimination of HPE employees - their website is here: http://www.wilaw.com/ - they will bring a site up focusing on this action it's in draft from now http://hpagediscriminationinvestigation.com/ Tagging it as #AgeDiscrimination

@pke - its this HPE #AgeDiscrimination - thoughts?

It is really happening, it is just not widely announced that xyz got the package nowadays and it is being targeted at the older community. If you dont believe that look at the company in the midwest that is filing a class action discrimination lawsuit on behalf of older hpe workers.

Richardson, TX - 60 Day Layoff

Here at the Boeing site in Richardson Texas this is what you can expect if you are unfortunate to get a 60 Day Layoff Notice here.

After receiving a 60 Day Layoff notice you would be required to sign a Wavier not to hold Boeing to #AgeDiscrimination.

If you refuse to sign the Waiver Boeing will deny you Unemployment Benefits. The Human Resource fellow here who lacks any integrity whats so ever states the Boeing Policy and Procedures that apply at all other Boeing sites do no apply at the Richard site.

This individual makes up rules or procedures on the fly, So you are pretty much out of luck if they give you a 60 Day Layoff Notice here.

Best thing to do if you receive a 60 Day Notice here is to ignore the Human Resource fellow and contact Boeing Corporate for help in filling a Appeal or Age Discrimination.

older workers got shafted

http://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/index.ssf/2016/06/intel_layoffs_skew_older_spotl.html

People over 40 were two-and-a-half times more likely to lose their jobs in this spring's layoffs than Intel employees under 40, according to data Intel provided to employees in compliance with the federal Older Workers Benefit Protection Act and obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive.

#AgeDiscrimination at it's best - I wander how numbers break down at CSC, in terms of age of people that are being laid off recently

That's discrimination based on age. And the statement that they're "a higher risk and produce less" is your point of view. Some of the best workers in my group ARE over 50 and they produce a lot. Younger employees would do themselves a favor if they copied the "work ethic" most of the boomers have! Hope you never are working over 50 as people might view you that way too!

Heartless, disloyal, disgusting people at the top

I was dumped last summer. 63 yrs old... 20+ yrs of service...

No 'real' pension ( lost that when the rules changed in 1999) nothing matters to them! Everyone let go in the past two decades were top performers. We gave our heart to the company.

Age discrimination? You betcha!! I am struggling to make it to MediCare and full Social Security.

Heartless, disloyal, disgusting people at the top, devastating those who made IBM!

It's a joke when they say yes we are cutting but there are thousands of available jobs on our website.

Bull!

Mattel gets away with all sorts of illegal crap during layoffs, age discrimination and more. Position eliminated, my assYet everyone just accepts it because they feel afraid and alone sitting there when HR "works their magic" (Can anyone share a time when HR helped them? I didn't think so.) Well there is no end to the layoffs, and anyone who isn't proactively planning their post-Mattel career is in complete denial. We need to band together NOW and get a high profile lawyer ready to fight for all the people whose "positions have been eliminated". With that, we empower ourselves and stand as a strong united group that Mattel fears and respects. Without that, we are powerless individuals that fall divided, plinked off one by one in HR's shooting gallery.

Age discrimination in play. HR whistle blower needed!

I posted this in a comment on the age-based discrimination thread. Last summer, Intel said the layoffs were merit-based, by using the stock levels, and it just happens to be a coincidence that the ages of the laid off workers skewed older. Per the EEOC, this alone is not illegal (since Intel is claiming another reason for the layoffs instead of age).

What MIGHT be illegal, however, is the tendency for older workers to get lower stock levels despite being successful in the first place. Somebody needs to pull the data and compare the age breakdown of successful + L4/L5 stock. If that is a skewed distribution (and I'm certain it must be), then it certainly sounds like clear-cut age discrimination in compensation.

This is a great opportunity for someone in HR to blow the whistle on this.

And this is why #AgeDiscrimination is rampant in corporate America

Freedom Fighter: Many older workers need to work until they reach their full retirement age. If you start using your retirement fund to live on when you are in your early 60's you won't have any money left if you live until you are 80 or 85. Everyone is in a different financial situation especially if you are still married and your spouse still has a lucrative job. It isn't easy for the older worker to get hired for any job but especially a professional position. Most companies prefer to hire the younger worker.

I wonder how this will play out - Chester Springs worker alleges Teradata fired him due to age

http://pennrecord.com/stories/510663764-chester-springs-worker-alleges-teradata-fired-him-due-to-age

Nobody will ever admit this - Age Discrimination is rampant in corporate America but admitting it would imply responsibility even if this Anonymous you can be tracked down if there is anything illegal happening #agediscrimination

OK DM's let go, now are you willing to publicly admit we were targeted due to our age, tenure and pay rates?
