From law firm Constangy, Brooks & Smith, a tongue-in-cheek look at ways to avoid a serious age-discrimination lawsuit:
“Here are five things employers (and the young whippersnappers they employ) should do to be sure they’ll be accused of age-based harassment.Read the update:
1. Be sure to associate “high energy level” with youth. Heaven knows, old people have no get up and go. That’s why they need Geritol and go to bed before the 11 o’clock news comes on. (Or, if you live in the Midwest, the 10 o’clock news - even worse!!) If you want someone with pep, hire a kid. Do you have any idea what it takes to be able to play World of Warcraft (Cataclysm) until 3 a.m. on a work night? Didn’t think so.”
