Comment on US Judge Refuses to Dismiss Lawsuit Accusing X of Age Bias in 2022 Layoffs
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Zeman, for example, claims that X laid off 60 percent of workers who were 50 or older and nearly three-quarters of those who were over 60, compared with 54 percent of employees younger than 50.
Just a reminder there’s no protection from being treated badly for being young, only for being old.
If you’re 35 and up for a promotion, it’s completely legal for your company to flat out say you’re not old enough. Or in this case twitter could have laid off 100% of under 35 year old employees and no one else.
Because old people make the rules.

That’s not the case everywhere.

Yeah, that’s how laws work…
But it’s a pretty safe bet when talking about what an American Judges ruled about the American CEO of an American company did to American workers…
That most replies will focus on America’s laws and not Uzbeckistan’s.
I mean sure, you could ask everyone on the internet to always mention what country their talking about, but it’s probably easier to just use some common sense. Because that will help you in other areas as well.
