You ever encounter age discrimination?
posted by (Sep 04, 2008 @ 6:55PM) views: 107
Just like that saying... "Only in the Philippines", age discrimination is very common. You ever notice the job ads that spell out an age range. Isn't this illegal? What does one's age have
to do with one's ability to do a job.

According to http://www.forumcash.com/wordpress/tired-of-filipino-age-discrimination/ there are cases of workers as young as 28 that are BARRED from applying for certain jobs. How can you apply for a job and avoid the "age trap"?

yeah that is a very wrong practice!!

i think those people who do that doesnt see the potential of the so called older population

come on they have more experience on the field too
more mature and etc...

solutions..
companies should be more open minded and they should change their policies


no biasses ...just because they are younger they are wiser

There are certain age level ang kailanganin ang isang establishments with accords with the job that is avail on their company. Like Jollibee you have to be at the age of 18 para maging isa sa crew nila. Di naman age discrimination ang tawag niyan eh kung baga in each company kailangan din nilang sumunod sa anong establishments meron sila.

And that is not illegal kasi meron silang right para mag mandate ng rules na ganyan and you have to follow some certain policies and protocols na meron sila. : )
