QUESTION
I am 65 years old. The company for which I work seldom posts any jobs. Instead, supervisors ask the people they like if they want to apply for a job
Asked on Dec 04th, 2015 on Discrimination - Indiana
More details to this question:
I have worked there for 2 1/2 years. I have college degrees in psychology, library science, and computer programming. In addition, I am a Vietnam-era veteran. In all the time I have worked there, I have never been asked if I want to apply for a better job. All the people who get asked are younger than I am, and usually just high school graduates. In addition, they have sometimes worked there for less time than I have. Do you think this is age discrimination?

Dear Anonymous,
It is possible that you are experiencing discrimination based on your age (over 40). In order to make a claim for age discrimination, you must first report it to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) by filing a Charge of Discrimination. You can find instructions on how to file a Charge of Discrimination by clicking here. If you have any specific questions about filing a Charge or what your legal rights are, please feel free to contact me for a free consultation.
Very truly yours,
