How many agesim tactics are you seeing out there? Such as required graduation year, or uploaded video interview before you even talk to someone? How are these legal?

They’re legal because it’s not technically breaking the letter of the law. But yes, ageism is the rule rather than the exception in this industry. Finding a candidate’s age is very easy, and then you can reject them for not being a good fit. When I started as a junior, there were plenty of regular creatives in their 50s and 60s doing great work, but that has changed drastically. Now those people can only get freelance, with very few exceptions.
Our brave agency “leaders” often offer themselves as an example of the lack of ageism - “look at me, I’m 58 and a successful ECD!” But that just proves that a regular creative (not in upper management) has virtually no chance at a staff job. It’s illegal, sure. Go ahead and sue, then you won’t even get freelance. And given the current situation, it’ll only get worse.

I learned of this clever one working brand side for a few years: the EEOC statement. Have you ever read one? Or do you like most people overlook it? It will list all the characteristics a company doesn’t discriminate against. But it’s the ones it doesn’t include to watch out for. “Age” is only 3 letters, such a short word. In such a long legal statement, you might not notice when it isn’t even there.

Discrimination doesn’t care whether a class is protected.

I’ve been working for a company for 25yrs, looking for advancement. I’m considered an SME, managing people, Vendors and working on large system conversions. Have provided long term goals. When requesting feedback I’m told I’m on the right path, no suggestions on what to improve. I asked about timelines for advancement and not being given anything concrete. Recently interviewed with another company as a Vendor Mgmt partner. Individual contributor, high visible position with potential. Thoughts?

Another company flat out said they couldn’t find my application (in their system where it was attached to job req number) and filled the role.

First American Financial Corporation I have attended two rounds of interview in First American Finan Company last week and have received an email that I have been selected in their interview process. The talent acquisition team did not send me an offer letter instead have sent me a BGC form which I submitted yesterday. I found it very strange as usually first offer letter is rolled out and then BGC check happens if the candidate accepts the offer. Today there was no communication. Can anyone tell me if they faced this situation?TIA

I am a Product Owner with 4+ YOE. I have been in my current role for 4 months and have continuously found that this role and company are not the right fit for me. Looking back on everything they said during the interview process it turns out that the culture, product and role are not aligning with anything we discussed. They have added on responsibilities and I have continuously expressed to my direct manager how I feel.
