Today at 6pm ET we will be broadcasting Episode 48 of our Don't Call It Small...Business Podcast ( https://foremanllc.com/podcast ).

In Episode 48 we discuss the history, evolution, and destructive nature of ageism (also known as age discrimination) in the workplace.

This episode touches on the discrimination of younger workers and the bridges, ladders, and leveraged opportunities that have better positioned younger people to be catapulted into career positions.

What we focus mostly on in this episode is the subtle, overt, and blatant discrimination against older workers (ages 40 and older) by older and younger employers.

We discuss these topics and issues:

- ADEA and its weaknesses, loopholes, and defanging by the US Supreme Court
- State versus Federal age discrimination laws, enforcement, and oversight
- Various cases of workplace ageism in different industries, by younger and older corporations

- AARP Foundation's efforts to support and fight for older workers
- Efforts of EEOC and the battles they face
- Ageism in job postings and interviews, and other discriminatory practices

- Words and phrases that are unethical, discriminatory, and possibly illegal to include in a job posting, advertisement, and/or interview
- Steps to legally protect yourself from ageism in the workplace

- What companies (of all sizes) should be doing to change, implement, and enforce a culture of inclusion, diversity, and equity
- The irony and hypocrisy of ageism

- A look at the numbers: percentage of older workers now and in the future in comparison to numbers facing and reporting discrimination in the workplace
- Career and job options for older workers laid off, fired, forced into retirement, and unemployed

To file an inquiry or formal complaint with the EEOC, you can file online at http://publicportal.eeoc.gov or call 800-669-4000.
