Over at Punk Rock HR my fellow blogger, Laurie Ruettimann, had this observation in her post entitled Ageism, Sexism & Whatnot “…no one cares about ageism until they’re old.” And she is correct! At least on a personal level. HR departments and management teams need to care about it everyday.
So this week I am going to explore agesim in a bit more detail:
- What its roots may be
- What the law is regarding it
- What HR departments need to watch for.
In the meantime you can read something I wrote earlier this year after I witnessed some “ageism.”
Ageism in the Workplace
I also want you to raise your awareness of ageism. Listen to what people say, especially in your workplace. Watch how people act. Look at commercials. I bet each of you will find at least 5 examples of ageism. And if you are an older job hunter you can probably cite many examples of personal situations.
So while I am writing this week give me some examples! How have you witnessed discrimination, be it because you are young or old?

I don't think anyone will argue with you that Hollywood today lacks credibility, taste and creativity.
While the simple and classic whisk is great for many tasks in the kitchen, there are some times and some recipes that require
more speed and dexterity with the mixing, and that’s where these valuable devices come in. Restaurant equipment and supply stores are a
great resource for inexperienced restaurant owners, week-end chefs,
or people who just want to prepare a recipe that they have seen done
by a celebrity chef on one of the ever popular cooking shows.
With it, I just insert the probe, program the device to the temperature that I
want, and continue on with whatever I have going on elsewhere.
