"Content warning-offensive ageist statements. Again, this wasn't directed at me personally, but the worst ageism I've witnessed was during the pandemic. I have sadly witnessed more than one person say it was a good thing that older adults were dying, and it doesn't matter if they die because they are 'just old people.' It was impossible to argue with these individuals; they didn't seem to regard older people as human."
"59 years old and looking for a position in my very ageist profession. If you're over 50, you're looked at as a fossil. I'd manage to rise above that until I was 59. With a perfect educational and work pedigree, I could not get a single call back. After that, I got a callback and a final interview for every job. But when they saw me? The jig was up."
