Re: Ageism!!!
Ageism? Don't make me laugh, last time I was made redundant, (properly), I was on a damn good wage and my department was running smooooothly, they couldn't replace me under that job description for 6 months so changed the job title and took on two young lads fresh out of University admitted, their combined wage was less than what I had been paid, their combined experience? less than an eighth of what they had with me.
3 months later the M.D. offered me my old job back with a rise to sort out the mess, tilt game over I had found a job with plenty more cash and much less stress, so no thank you.
Another job I went for stipulated they wanted someone with at least five years full driving licence, I was 30 at the time, the thicko that interviewed me told me Your a bit old I was after an 18 year old trainee.
With five years driving experience? I said when you find an 18 year old like that give him my 'phone number I'll guarantee I can find him a job on twice what your offering.
Ageism is the same as any other 'ism if they don't want you they'll find an excuse not to hire you!
