Too Old to Be Hired? The Truth About Ageism in the Workplace #ageism#workplacebias#careeradvice Ageism is one of the most ignored forms of discrimination, yet it affects millions of people in their careers. In this episode, I talk about what really happens when experience starts working against you instead of for you. We explore why older workers are often seen as overqualified, out of touch, or less adaptable, even after years of proven success. This conversation also looks at how hiring systems, workplace culture, and social media shape the way age is viewed today. I break down real examples of job search struggles after 40, the pressure to stay relevant, and the gap between experience and what companies are looking for. You will also hear insights on how different industries treat age, why younger workers are often preferred, and what companies lose when they ignore experience. This episode also covers: Why is age discrimination often ignored How Workplace Bias Affects Hiring Decisions The difference between experience and adaptability Why are older workers filtered out before interviews How culture and media shape age perception The value of intergenerational collaboration This is a clear and honest discussion about ageism in the workplace and what needs to change. ✅ Joining me are: Dr. Jonathan Marshall – Psychologist and former professor Simon J.

Disability discrimination in creative agencies often hides behind workplace culture and “performance” expectations. If you are being excluded, denied accommodations, or retaliated against, you may have legal rights under California law. Documentation and early action are critical.

California law protects employees 40+, and recognizing the signs is the first step toward taking action.

California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act provides extensive protections that go beyond federal standards. If you are facing bias in a Los Angeles workplace, documenting incidents and understanding legal timelines can make a critical difference.
