Three-fourths of older workers blame age discrimination for their lack of confidence in finding a new job. So we set up a fake business, giving out free gift baskets, to shine a spotlight on the barriers and ageist assumptions that older workers face in the job search.

Aerospace let my Dad go right before he was ready to retire so that they wouldn't have to pay for his retirement. Then they hired a young 20 something that knew nothing in his place so that they could pay the new guy less money!
✴ When you reach a certain age your college degree turns to dust. Employers are looking for youth
SUGAR XYLER ! That's for darn sure! It's a crying shame too! Ty!😀
I AGREE 100%!!! I am seeing this more & more in my local area of Manatee County/Bradenton FL. This is beyond wrong and I am thankful that AARP is trying to make a difference. I pray that they are successful!
I interviewed with a machine shop and when taken to the CNC machine they needed run, lo and behold "James" was on it....the exact same guy I trained on the exact same machine at National Oilwell before the big layoff...
I setup their grapple cell and trained everyone after going thru every machine brought in, parts, tooling and programs....
I was told by this company "I didn't meet their qualifications"...
Been doing this for 45 years......
It's funny, in my line of work the old people run circles around the young people. They're too busy looking at their cell phones.

👍 Older people are more reliable as well
There is a generation or two between those you are talking about. Oldies built this mess and have been obstructing the path that might fix the problems that generations before created and protect. AARP protects the system of exploitation of the youth for the old people. You shame us to keep us from changing the system you profit from. There will be a crappy tomorrow for us all if the mess is not fixed. But what do you oldies care if you dont live to see it. You borrowed against our future so you could live an indulgent and indifferent life. The shame belongs to you. Yours is not the greatest generation, but you may be the narcicistic generation.
@@shoukosanakura9860 What was that?
@Dee Cee All the kids at my job lay around and smoke pot all day while us grannies do all the work.
Job discrimination starts at 35 I had a harder time as I got older. Because I have more experience than younger. And they hire the inexsperence for less money
Hello dear how are you doing today
If you want to stop age discrimination, start with health insurance.
🖐 Agree
I was unemployed for a bit. Found a job that didn't pay enough and worked until I found another that turned out to be the job from Hell. I almost cried every day while driving to work but stuck it out for 5 months without calling off until I found a job I love. I was blessed that my new boss actually preferred older workers because they are reliable, less likely to play on their phones while working, more accepting of constructive criticism, don't usually collapse under pressure and would never even consider asking for a mental health day! Older workers know how to work hard, don't need constant affirmation and have enough life & work experience to handle most unusual situations.
The older people are who invented the technology that the young use!!!
Thats funny. Then the older people bitch about how the younger people live their lives. I guess as long as older people are making the profits, they are ok with it. Yes, clearly not all of the oldies are profiting, just 1%. But 99% of oldies support the 1%'s programming.
My point is that the younger generation follows the lessons of the older. You are correct, oldies built what we have today, the problems and the values that come with that too.
Good point Nadine 👍
Wow. We older people have more life experience, maturity and are more reliable. This is crazy.
Life experience doesnt mean 2 shits today
sonya griffy you also cost more
My hat is off to the younger gentleman who called them out on this! Thank you, Sir!
You mean Michael? Yeah, he's a bloody legend!!!LOL
My told me when I was 20years old when I hit fifty I would have a hard time finding a job. I'm 54 and this is so true. Sad but true
I am a RN was working for a company, that was about Youth, the employee was also anxious about something, heavy drinkers and took off work often. I was let go, not because "I was a bad RN, I just didn't fit their company" haha, because I showed up for my work and did my job. I think one of the young RN supervisors couldn't handle my work ethic, don't like someone that makes them look bad. I had another job by end of week. 😂

Got a new degree at 54. Only one in the class who graduated with a 4.0. Couldn't get a job. Filed with the EEOC. Offered a job immediately. 70% of the kiddies I trained with became pregnant and quit, moved and quit, were incompetent and subsequently fired, quit and decided to pursue different degrees: MBAs hahahahaha. Costs thousands to train a Medical Laboratory Technician to handle a bench. But the 11 years they'll have me earns them profits they'll never see from their youngster hires, who crapped out in a year.
TheWilyTrout ESQ Good for you!! You're an intelligent worker who knows what's required to keep a job and will probably be getting raises in the near future. There are young people out there that have work ethics and standards. Just depends on how they were raised.
@@pinkrose5796 You are correct. My current crew has some incredibly professional and knowledgeable young people, and it's an absolute pleasure to work with them.
I'm 45 and I see this everyday.
Tracy S I hope not to yourself! You are not that old and besides, I’m 49. 😊
@@penelopepitstop762 Yes. I went through avlay off three years ago. Ageism is terrible.
Tracy S I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve been at the same place for 15 years. I can’t imagine having to look for a job now. I assumed you meant you faced discrimination at your job. Good luck to you!
Yes, I was 45 when I started to notice the difficulties in getting jobs. It got really bad after the 2008 market crash and employers started shrinking down the employee count. And they started turning admin assistants into accounts to avoid hiring both.
@@penelopepitstop762 Yes. 45 is still a young person. Why do people in their 40s call themselves old??????? And a 60+ calling a 40+ old is beyond ridiculous.
I'd rather have an older person working for me anyday than someone younger.
I would want diversity , lots of examples. But you know what I mean. In my opinion different people together in the right environment of course, can do wonderful things.
@11STARFIRE you have fun with the old disabled cucks then
I get where u are coming from, but ageism doesn't just go one way.....that statement within itself was ageist.
You don’t fight ageism with more ageism. 🤦🏻♀️
This kind of customer service is why most people are shopping online.
The addition of years to our life is a blessing, being old is a choice!
If it wasnt for us 45 and ups...
construction would fall to its knees and die!!!
And what about when you retire and theres's not enough of the younger gen. to take your place in those jobs?
@@captainh3831 / so you're saying the knowledge of construction workers are meaningless??
This is a stupid argument. The young replace the old. If the previous generations dont set the younger up for success, it is the failure of the older, and all generations suffer.
The older generations have continually driven civilization into the ground. Who is more to blame, the generation that failed to build a system that lasts and failed to mentor their own youth, or the generation that recognizes that the system is a failed one?
Younger generations should prepare for the collapse and rebirth of civilization rather than keep failing as our forefathers and mothers have. Good luck all. Maybe think of how to not support the system of exploitation and debt slavery anymore. Maybe quit the identity politics of the globalists, that our forebarers created and realize we're all in the shit together.
How do you get around the algorithms? First thing they do is detect your age! There is no next step in the process.No call, No interview, they don't acknowledge you even applied...
Don't admit to all of your experience. Give them only the last 5 to 10 years. Once you get interview you can go into more detail
You have to tell the truth about military service and the got you...
Hello Sandra how are you doing today?
I understand the message, but while they're at it they should've reversed the study to see how the young would've reacted by not only waiting longer, but not getting a FREE gift basket as well.
You missed the golden opportunity!
They would have started a socialist movement, so they could get free everything. 😛
Would have been instantly tweeted and an army of cell phone video recording younglings would show up and make a huge scene about it. BUT that is also a good way to abolish this kind of stereotyping and send a strong message that this is not OK in 2020.
I just discriminate on job performance. If you can't perform you're job you're gone. That just so happens to typically be the younger individuals. To be fair, not always though
If you've made it to 50 you must be doing something right. Survival is very important. Good luck young guns it's only going to get worse. We are a country run by greed not need.
🚨 Exactly. Youth today are in a world of Hell. *GLAD I'm a 70s child*
This is such an unrealistic example.
I am 59 but look about 30 according to everyone I know. Because of this I am told several times a week I can't have a senior discount.
Easy fix-Show your license!
Fight it? How? You can't.
Yes you can...show them by continually putting yourself out there and letting oeople know of your skills.I got my job by starting as a volunteer,than i was offered to be a oaid employee .
You could have had everyone in the same line and gotten the same results. It’s happened to me at the makeup counter multiple times, even though I spend significantly more. Was reading an article in Oprah magazine about skin regimens “for all ages” only provided through 50s, nothing for 60s or 70s and Oprah is 65!!
Spot on AARP!! I’ve been heavily experiencing age discrimination since about the age of 45. Now at 55 yrs old, trying to find employment is near to impossible! No one is even willing to give you an interview if you’re over 50! Something truly needs to be done to change this in the workplace. I’d love to see companies being legally held accountable for age discrimination. What can you do to get that ball rolling?
I’ve had all gray hair since my 30’s. Since my 40’s (I’m 60 now) I’ve been discriminated against in the workplace AND in the marketplace. I can’t get a retail person to wait on me in places like REI, Ulta, Victoria Secret, while they flock to help teenagers and twenty-somethings.
😁😁😁 WTH are you doing in Victoria's secret
Levy Schroeder That's when you get pushy.
@@SUGAR_XYLER Older women buy underwear too!
@@SUGAR_XYLER Well, she said she was discriminated against in her 40s, and that isn't old. My cousin was completely white haired by 30, but I guess that's ok because he's a guy. In our world, only women should not be fat, old, ugly, or white haired.
People will look at you and snub you if you are older!, I have been treated ridiculously bad by others! It's insane!
Hello Ozzy how are you doing today?
@@robertabrams4490 I'm well thanks. You?
@@ozzyoz5210 I'm going good
@@ozzyoz5210Where are you from?
This video made me feel uncomfortable. There are many companies looking for workers, even over 40, because jobs are hard to fill by the younger generation.
Did not like this experiment. Who planned it, a person under 40?
I'd rather have the pad of paper.....
Youth is venerated by marketing agencies in most advertisement for one primary reason. The young are more likely to spend less wisely, and therefore have more available disposable income. This trickles down to a general distorted perception in society. This btw is unique to western culture, where newer is always perceived as better. This idea has lead us to become a more and more vacuous society. Most now value characters, as opposed to having character. The Kardashians being famous for no reason is a prime symptom.
I hate all of them. I call then karGASHians
Michael, you are a bloody legend, mate!!! ❤❤❤❤
I'm 52 and I can work just as hard as the youngsters out there!
With the work Ethic of the younger generation I would much prefer the older crowd who actually know how to work and do not have some entitlement attitude.
It would be nice if employers also confirmed the receipt and confirmed you didn’t make it through except they keep you sitting in limbo. Candidates need to make all the right steps and a damn company can’t even send a form email back saying “sorry”. Pathetic.
Now we have fake advertising to go with our fake news.
I was told I’m too old to party anymore so I don’t really need to have Fridays off.
Fridays off? -and for partying!?!
Too old to party?!? Since when???We “youngsters” have a lot to still teach “babies” about life and how to REALLY party (that’s not “par-tay” babies!). 🎉 🎶 💃🏼 🕺🏼
Love the message!
Thanks for watching!
Hello Sherry how are you doing today?
Great job!
I read a lot of these posts. the truth is, it's all about the money. that's the employment market folks.
Not sure how age discrimination can be about money. An older worker is less likely to call off, ask for mental health days and is more likely to have enough experience to be more productive.
It’s about healthcare premiums that companies are having to pay to carry insurance for their employees. If you keep the risk pool at a younger average age, you can reduce the cost of these premiums. Additionally, there are high level executives who are dead weight and they will not retire and they’re never fired or laid off because they’re locked into the buddy system. They have friends that are doing the same and they are all protecting each other. The lowest common denominator is the low level employee and they are being compromised.
@@lnb4866 sad, to keep incompetent emplyees because they're young instead of hiring employees with knowledge and experience who could actually do the job and do it well and right. Very short sighted. My Mother would call them penny wise and pound foolish. They're watching their health care pennies while their customer satisfaction plummets. Great way to lose customers!
Why doesn't this have more likes?
This needs to be noticed
It's interesting that in Asia older people are respected for their wisdom. Here in the U.S., once you pass 50 years old, you are considered human garbage and a burden on society.
I'm not so sure about that. In Korea, they hate and discard old people. 19 year olds, and even younger get plastic surgery and botox as gifts from their parents.
Older peopel more experience
Any circumstance that’s why in asia repected
It all depends on the person..
Try going thru that nonstop.😔
The thing is... We all get old
Amen.
Age discrimination also comes into play when it comes to just being friends. The sad truth is, no one under 20..or 30..or 40 (pick your favorite number, doesnt matter) wants to have anything to do with anyone outside of their immediate peer circle. They feel they dont have anything in commmon; they dont fit in, they dont belong.
But the reality is, thats not how society works. When you go out into the world, you will find that a community is made up of all different kinds of people, from various backgrounds, ages, races, etc.
If we are to survive in this life, we all need to learn to work together and help one another. If we approached civilization as we did personal relationships, society would be strictly segregated into countless groups, each with a common thread and strong divisions keeping us apart. And it will eventually lead to our demise.
Not me. I have had friends of all ages my whole life. I was even friends with someone older than my mom...so what? Big deal.
I wouldn’t say “no one.” Be careful with absolutes; you’re unknowingly perpetuating more stereotypes. Plenty of people are friends with different generations beyond college.
When I was in middle management, I found that older people were more dedicated, more reliable, and generally easier to work with. To be realistic, we DID encounter physical limitations with them at a couple of places where I was, Tasks that they were willing enough to do, but unable to carry on with. Of course some of that also applies to younger people who are just not very strong.
A wise man once said, “you either live old or die young”.
And then there’s Rock Stars.
I have had someone tell me I needed to do more work for someone who was older than me, because they were older.
I said,"No. They were hired to do this job. They went through the same physical I did and were deemed capable of doing this job."
Until the issues of age restricted housing is addressed the situation is still going unchecked. What?.... people expect me to feel bad when I see this social experiment...nope. because maybe if this stings enough then maybe people will start to realize that the younger generations have been going through this for a long time. Venice Florida is a prime example. It's a city. Anything for retirees they are all for. Anything for the younger generations including kids they forced out ..... including GameStop lol. So before people are up in arms about age discrimination then make sure all of it is brought to light...not just a small part. One on the video said it best. Discrimination is discrimination regardless of age. Well said!
lol but your generation is being talked about everywhere. can´t you let others have a little attention for their issues too ?
My question- why would you want to live in a community where the majority of people are retirees?? There are PLENTY of areas in Florida that are skewed towards families or singles including division by generations. I’m sure you can find the perfect area that will cater to your preferences. Let us older people have a few things that are just for us.
Interesting experiment.
I feel so bad for them! I can’t stand it. !!!!! 😔😤
Well I'm glad none of them tried to attack that young woman! If they did, I will call them 'legends'! 😄😄🤣🤣
This was sad my grandma and grandpa cried this was so sad
AARP where profits are #1
Part of the problem is that older workers COST 2-3x more in health insurance which many employers pay. Apart from the cumulative effect of salaries over time. The older worker is MORE expensive.
But we still have affirmative action ........???????
No, we don’t. So white women, as the largest benefactors of Affirmative Action are cheated once again! 😮🙄
It’s called ageism
Try going to Walmart in the morning. If you aren't over sixty they won't let you in
Michael was great!
I'm from Central I'll and I saw most of the same situations as people are stating that occurred with their employment. At times of slow downs due to slow orders the layoffs were coming and not fair as most companies stated. Always with a hidden promise will try and bring you back if things improve which with most it was a tool to unload the gold brickers.
And HOW LONG HAS AARP BEEN AROUND?!?
WHAT has changed, since they started FIGHTING this?!?
NOT ONE THING.
Depends on the job totally.
If they were younger, they wouldn't be so old !!!
This is so pointless everyone knows that this is wrong no one would be like yeah this is right
The work place doesn't tell the young 20 year olds to be mean and nasty but they reward all of them a lot more than the people that are older than 40. So in a since they are telling them to be ugly towards us and mistreat us! So how would they feel if they had to deal with being bullied and played tricks on, on a daily basis! These girls were all new coming out of a new class/ just graduated and we're making more money than me and I had never gotten really much of a raise! At the end trying to get a review of how I was doing and the girls were all so mean and constantly on their phones playing games watching movies going outside on breaks a lot and were acknowledged in meetings, where was i in the back and invisible when I was working I was the one that was running to get the call lights! CNA work is one of the hardest, backstabbing jobs out there! And the bosses could careless about a person who's trying harder to, to help make life better! 😳Yes, anyone would be angry with a situation like that.!!!😡☹ making not even close enough to live on and have thought about going some where people are making 15 or 20 dollars and don't even work that hard! Life was not meant to be slaved for other people benefits and making the same amount of money with in 25 year's is not okay!
You should definitely look for another job! One where they'll appreciate your hard work. The best thing will be when you leave for a better job and they'll suddenly realize who did most of the work. They will be like little lost lambs!
Blanche Konieczka ~ I did leave last June and the 5 star's thing that's on line when you look at there website went from 4 1/2 stars to 1 1/2 stars! It's awful and some of the residents that had been there were leaving before I left but I really loved them and they loved me! I took care of them like they were my grandmas and grandpa's! I actually knew a handful of them from church and from when I was in middle/ Jr. High school and Elementary School. So they were very close to my heart and the bosses seem to only care about their paychecks and getting home to their parties or get togethers! Once years before we had two bosses that were at the same place but they left because of how they were being treated. Those bosses we had were caring and cared about the nurses and CNA's and they would come in, in the middle of the night to help do the CNA work or nurses jobs but the new bosses would not even answer their phone's! I should have reported them but everyone knows everyone in town so I didn't want to go down that road. One of my friends that's an RN had a job for me but I broke my left foot in two places and it took a long time to heal and I'm still limping to this day. I love people but dislike drama from any age person like I was dealing with! Yes I'm trying to do my own P.T. by myself to strengthen my foot! I'm telling everyone if you know you've broken any bones in your foot then get to the doctor or hospital right away don't listen to anyone. I had to go 7 weeks with the broken bones and no one was listening to me till I got ex-rays on my foot. Going to a podiatrist is much cheaper than a hospital and they can tell you what you need. Thank you for caring.
@@jennifervieira99 God bless you for caring for the residents as if they were family! The job from Hell was cooking in a nursing home and a handful of us cared about the residents but nobody else did. I was often close to tears when I had to cook and serve tiny portions of substandard food. My new job is cooking at Little Sisters of the Poor where their motto is "Making the residents happy". They really live by this motto and I've never loved a job more. I'll pray for your foot to heal and for you to find a job you love and where you're appreciated. You deserve the best!
@@blanchekonieczka9935 ~ Aww, Thank you for praying for me! I really need healing for the left over pain to disappear so I'm not limping. You sounds like a sweet heart and yes, the place where I was at was kind of doing the same thing with portions sizes. It made me so sad and up set! I don't like saying anything bad about a place but they were going down hill but after I left I kept seeing notifications that they were hiring all the time like they couldn't keep cna's. It's just to bad because my mom's friends and my friends that all work either in the hospital or doctor offices and so people I don't know all said that the assistant living company's I are all going down hill. They don't treat their better employees good and don't care about what may what to them at work. I need some type of job where I can sit down and also be able to get up. Maybe a computer job! I need to also work on my skills for that.
@@jennifervieira99 will add to my prayer for you to find a job that you love. Praying now

Down with age discrimination! No more senior citizen discounts for anyone! Lets do away with age requirements for social security withdrawals!
Wait! I'm almost old enough to get a senior discount!
Wow,thats not cool.My daughter would have a fit if i was treated like that,but unfortunately,the companies do want younger people.What happens in our city is alot of them panhandle or do illicit things rather than stepping up to the work force.That leaves us "older"people to do twice as much or more of the work that needs doing.Including volunteering.
It’s ironic our entire civilization from the books we read like Chaucer to Bacon to Aristotle to Jane Austin were prepared by individuals who had decades of experience.
What ageism is about is simply employers looking to hire cheaper and cheaper staff in a concerted race to the bottom.
Uber destroyed the Taxi industry taking full time work for people of different backgrounds and turning it into gig work with no stability and benefits. All of the business risk is shifted to the drivers.
How does it feel that every worker has been turned into a commodity? We are no more than cogs in a machine.
The reason I referenced some greats in civilization is simple. People don’t get worse with age they get better.
some get worse some get better some stay the same
What do u do if your 40? It only says over 40 and under 40. So that’s either 39 and under or 41 and over. But what about 40??? 😂
Forty can't even get in the line.
I agree
I need a nap
It’s not because of age discrimination, it’s because most corporate companies don’t wanna give you a raise through the years..
You can work as fine pace as you want and age has nothing to do with it..
First let me say I probably fit into the older category. I’m 49 - yikes. Now let me play devil’s advocate... I work in a large office. We have all ages. I know lots of millennials who are great workers. I also know older workers who are just waiting to retire and who also refuse to learn new things and some who can’t learn new things. So... there’s good and bad to each side.
lambchopxoxo My former boss was very tech savvy. He retired at 67 about 2 years ago. In fact, I was always impressed by his knowledge. But, I see it with other employees, mostly in their 60’s. My husband is 55 and pretty tech savvy also.

The woman that got laid off needs to examine herself. If you look like a mess, people are going to think that you're a mess. It's also been proven that older men/women are slower mentally than younger individuals. 60+ < 30 and below.
I'd make a HUGE protest, and RIP someone a new asshole. I'd end up in jail because the outrage would trigger me and turn me into a psycho.
That is a publicity stunt, not an experiment. Experiments using adult human subjects are necessary, examined for ethics, have control groups, require volunteers be informed about what is happening, and they have an opportunity to opt out.
I may 55 year old woman welder in a nuclear power plant and nobody can do it I can do not even the young guys or the young women so don't discount us
I appreciate the intention here, but I hope to god that they chased down everyone they turned away and told them what was going on. Experiences like this are enough to make someone suicidal for sure.
That was The Lamest social experiment ever concocted!

Age discrimination is dumb, first reason is that older people have more experience, most of them can deal better with many situations than I can myself.
It’s logical in some situations and discriminatory in others.
There’s no it’s all bad or good.
Using yourself isn’t a good argument. For all we know you’re just incompetent. 😂👍🏽👊🏽
It's all about numbers .
Actuaries show older are far more likely to suffer injuries , need more time off , medical issues
Doesn't matter if the older is better , percentages are against the older population ,
insurance cost is dictating like it or not .
I'm 54. Two sides to every coin. There is value in hiring older workers...true. But many, that are 65-75 are slow, cantankerous, feeble, and not physically capable. I work with them. They do show up to work on time- but are often not "with the program" ...
Conversely, younger generations typically are self-entitled, haven't been taught communication - their to tuned in to their phones, and many have no work ethic.
2 sides.
