I think I just faced some age discrimination

I had the same feeling years ago when I tried to apply at a writing site. They only knew my basic demographics and they rejected my application. I always thought it was because I was "too old".

I don't qualify for a lot of surveys now because I'm older. It's more of a demographic thing than age discrimination. When I got out of college I was discriminated on the basis of my age. When the employer found out how young I was, he dropped the starting wage by $50 a month. Back then that was a lot. Have a good day.

Where I live, the older you get the more difficult it is to get a job. I even had to stop my own daughter who, once started to talk to me in a patronizing way. I looked at her as if saying WTF in Spanish and she had to lower her eyes.

I'm more likely to be rejected for my nationality. The cost of living is too high to pay me peanuts but I don't have the privilege of being a native English speaker or whatever. Sorry you were rejected due to age, I don't get why age is so important especially if you'd work from home. If you can prove you can complete your tasks "despite your age", they don't have the right make a fuss about it.

When I was in my teens I felt discriminated against with several jobs that I applied for.

I'm sorry you were discriminated against. I felt discriminated against when I started in the workforce after I had my diploma as an offset press operator. I was a woman without 20 years of experience.

That is crazy and of course, wrong!!

That's so unfair and very illegal.

I can't do surveys anymore. No one cares about my opinion. I was even told that people my age do not go online and I am mistaken about my age. I had a long, hard road to learning to do things on the computer. How would you like to be told you are not qualified to do a survey about butter? I was rejected by a writing site for no apparent reason.

Sounds like that was the reason. Sorry that happened.

I get rejected for surveys alot. Probably because I don't have any ailments and I don't have any kids.

I'm sure I've been kicked off survey sites because of my age. Sometimes it makes sense but other times it's a bit annoying.

@snowy22315 I am sorry it happned to you. I do not remember if my age was a factor for anything and do not recall that it has happened to anyone I know.

I am from a tier-3 country and encountered a situation where I felt discriminated against. It happened when I applied for a job that I really liked on a website. Unfortunately, it seemed like my nationality played a role in this unjust treatment. Hehe

In India it's very difficult to get a job after 60 and therefore I don't apply usually excepting sometimes.

no explanation in that paragraph, of course; how nice of them i am sorry. i thought if you have an experience, age shouldn't be relevant. i don't have a lot of experience in some fields and i always think i am rejected because of that but who knows. employers are getting meaner and souless. in one of my job interviews i was even asked how old i am (by a woman) i and i thought it wasn't relevant for the job but who would know vicious way of employer's thinking. though, i had a feeling i wasn't considered as a children entertainer cause i was older but they could have told me i wasn't the fit, even in email but no feedback at all.; the place where i went was full of college students, for whom they don't have to pay taxes but i didn't know that.
