Check your profile in Workday - yes it is there - and funny enough you can change it. But if you fly - the tickets will be issued w/the wrong date and you won't be able to board until you re-change it and re-issue the ticket.

Cisco managers/VPs and lawyers get together and make a layoff list with all different ages (20s,30s, 40s and 50s) so that no one sues them.

Outsource everything from USA and get rich ! They don’t care about the country or anyone. Dog eat dog world.

Yes. And you will see your age along with every one else who got laid off with you in your BU when you get your severance package paper work.

You are no longer eligible for a free slice of pizza at Chuck E Cheese. Use your AARP card for discounts

Unfortunately they can just do a google search and find out your age.
Any ideas how you can hide that kind of information from public internet?

That's interesting, we talk about stuff like that regularly. I and a manager and a colleague were all born less then 45 days apart. Guess it depends on how paranoid everybody chooses to be.

No. Managers don't see that sort of data.

Cisco people get very anxious at the mere mention of any kind of protected status.

In a meeting once I made some joke about my own age and my manager nervously shut down the discussion immediately.
