• Hiring large numbers of young people while

  differences between younger and older employees.
• Joking about age or making humiliating comments

• Speaking slowly and loudly when talking to older
  employees, thinking that they are suffering from
  hearing loss.
• Making jokes about older employees physical
  abilities such as typing slower than younger
  workers, grasping for air after walking up
  stairs, etc.
• Reassigning older workers and/or giving them
  unpleasant tasks, in a way to force them out of
  the company.
• Keeping older workers away from clients, and
  allowing only younger employees to communicate
  with clients and customers.
• Giving poor performance reviews solely because of
  age.

• Hiring only digital natives or social-media
  savvy employees, implying that only younger
  people are qualified to do this job.
• Older employees get turned down for a promotion
  more frequently than younger employees.
• Leaving employees over 40 out of the
  decision-making process and removing older
  workers from meetings or other work-related
  activities.
• Putting older employees on an employee
  improvement plan despite the fact that the
  employees performance has been good and he or
  she has had no history of wrongful behavior or
  anything that would violate the companys
  policies.

Many employers give their older employees poor
performance reviews several months prior to
firing them in order to protect themselves from a
wrongful termination lawsuit. However, if
performance reviews are handed out unfairly and
do not reflect the employers actual satisfaction
with an older employees work, the fired employer
over 40 may still be entitled to file a wrongful
termination claim alleging age discrimination,
