Easiest age discrimination case of your life. Sue them
Well that’s illegal.
I would at least get consult from an employment attorney. You could definitely cause a ruckus.
You have the world’s easiest lawsuit on your hands. Please sue them, it’s literally free money.
Such an easy age discrimination case. Take this to the feds immediately!
Yeah… they could be in trouble for this one.
I am so anti-work, I feel I should just start applying my 50 year olf ass to bad places just for the easy lawsuit money.
That’s a living!
And that’s ageism. Thank YOU, Jacob!
Sue them for age discrimination. You got evidence in writing
Wow you have literal proof of being turned down for your age…which is illegal.
Lawyer up
The company I work for is hiring folks at around 16/17 an hour for entry level manufacturing jobs. I just started here as a machinist so all my direct coworkers are also experienced machinists, but in my orientation there were a couple folks in their late 50s/early 60s and 2 women in their early 30s getting back in the work now force now that their kids were older. It might be worth talking to some local folks in manufacturing in your area to get a feel for the companies that are good to their employees, because every city has a few good ones, a bunch of ok ones and a handful of “for the love of god don’t work there” places. Just a suggestion.
Talk to a lawyer. This is age discrimanation with smoking gun evidence.
You don’t even need to sue. Get a lawyer, have them send a letter, and the company’s lawyer will tell them to settle ASAP and that manager will likely get fired.
I wish I could hit the lottery like that.
Is this manager 16? I’d much rather work with ‘adults’ wtf does that even mean.
Do not respond to them. Talk to an attorney and set up an arrangement where they take your case on contingency (e.g. attorney receives 30% of winnings in court, no payment if case fails). This arrangement ensures you have limited risk, a lawyer that’s highly motivated to push for maximum earnings and doesn’t require money up front.
Good luck
OP almost everyone here is giving the correct advice to speak to an attorney, but if you’ve never had to do something like this before some people are worried it will cost them money etc.
Google employment law attorneys in your area.
Call their office and ask for a consultation (free) regarding an age discrimination case.
Lay out everything that happened plus that you have texts to prove it.
If you like the lawyer ask if they’ll take it on contingency if they don’t already offer it up off the bat. Then you just wait to collect a check because once your attorney sends a notice of claim their insurance company will settle this. The employer will pay their deductible and that dude will definitely get fired or reprimanded
Ah, age 41. Too old and incompetent for anyone to hire, yet 30 years too young to run the country as a politician.
Hey, you’re over the age of 40. That means you’re eligible for age discrimination!
Looks like there’s going a manager position opening up shortly, after all.
