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.

That is crazy and of course, wrong!!

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.

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'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

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.

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