Ältere werden bei Führungsetagen elegant übergangen, gelten als zu teuer und zu alt für Neues. Altersdiskriminierung? Gibt’s offiziell nicht, aber im Alltag sehr wohl, Wertschätzung klingt oft nur nach PR #Agism #Altersdiskriminierung https://stefanpfeiffer.blog/2025/07/23/erfahren-aber-oft-abgehangt-die-realitat-alterer-arbeitnehmer/

Nominell und auf Hochglanzfolien eine wertvolle Ressource mit viel Erfahrung und wichtigem Wissen. In der Realität oft abgehängt. Die Generation 55+ in Unternehmen. #Agism #Altersdiskriminierung

Ältere Mitarbeiter punkten mit Erfahrung, Fachwissen und ausgeprägten Soft Skills. Sie sind loyaler, wechseln seltener den Job und bringen Stabilität ins Team. Marcus K. Reif fragt provokant: “Ist alt derjenige, der Personalpronomen noch groß schreibt, oder einfach nur jemand Ü50?” Die Altersdiskriminierung am Arbeitsmarkt muss enden!
Gut gebrüllt, aber #Agism ist leider Realität in Unternehmen und im Recruiting.

It’s true that extensive experience does not always translate into actionable expertise. It’s equally true that the odds of finding expertise in long-time practitioners are infinitely higher than in someone who hardly has any experience all.
Claiming that experience isn’t really all that valuable is often just thinly vailed #agism.

Wow, boomer bashing is still a thing, then, and some folks still find #agism funny. Also, if you want to point out generations that actually cause real harm in the world of IT, try GenX (Elon M.) and Millennials (Mark Z.), instead. https://mastodon.social/@liamo/113445907909649935

Thirty years ago I felt that had give up my career in #electricalengineering because I couldn't find work as a #blackman. #hamradio helped me stay active #technically during those decades and satisfy my innate #curiosity while I was struggling to keep employed because of #agism & #racism. I've recently been given a chance with @nrao_hamradio to reconnect with my former #career and so far it's been thrilling. #AmateurRadio

CW: depol, vote by age group, election Brandenburg, slightly rant
the voting intention in Brandenburg by age group shows the AFD slightly winning in all groups under 60, the group of 60+ inverts the tendency w/ SPD ahead.
will not join the people discussing the switch to the right, or it's causes..
I want to draw some attention that a lot of people associate automatically older people with conservative or exclusionary values.
besides not being necessary to explain how ageist it is, now the statistics prove that idea wrong.
last elections already shown a lot of right wing sympathy in the age group 16-25.
i am not here to fall into the trap of saying that younger or older people vote like this or that. Just that clischees about libertarian or conservative ideas being coupled with age are just wrong, factually, and rooted on internal ageism.
apparently my account moved from queer shibari to solid anti-ageism.

"People 75 and older are the fastest-growing age group in the U.S. workforce. All told, about one in five Americans aged 65 and older are employed, according to the Census Bureau...
"'“He has the experience. He has judgment. He’s seen it all.'
"Trump, 78, has escaped similar questioning about his age. If he is elected and serves a full term, he would eventually supplant Biden as the oldest president in U.S. history."

I don’t like being called a *Boomer* as I certainly don’t fit the stereotype, but I’m quite content not to be seen by other generations. It means I do as I can enjoy the things I do without issue. They’ll be my age one day as we’re all going in the same direction. #Agism #Aging #Boomer #GenZ
Gen Z fuelling ageism, older Aussies feel "less visible"

Aan de hippe #controlearts (ex-intesivist) van #Helan (Wilrijk), die
1. Geen enkele diagnostische handeling stelde
2. Geen contact nam met de artsen die dat wel werk leverden
3. Geen probleem heeft om publieke middelen op te strijken
en
mijn godin bedacht op #agism & #seksisme:May your shit comes to live & bite you in the nose, redundant asshole🖕

🔗 Katie Britt in national spotlight with response to State of the Union
Scripps went right to #agism and gave no pushback or fact check on what #KatieBritt said
This is going to be the late night and morning local news take for the many Scripps' local TV news station tonight and in the morning.
Disgusting #journalism

@CNN Crikey CNN you’re really pissing me off with your constant age discrimination against #joebiden. I don’t ever remember you calling out Condi Rice for being a woman or Obama for being black. You’re just a bunch of #agist bigots putting babies anchors on air with zero experience of the wisdom and value that a person of the president’s experience can bring. #bigotry #discrimination #agism

#AI #AGI #AGIsm #Neoliberalism #AIDoomsterism #Capitalism: "Fascinated with privatization, competition and free trade, the architects of neoliberalism wanted to dynamize and transform a stagnant and labor-friendly economy through markets and deregulation.
Some of these transformations worked, but they came at an immense cost. Over the years, neoliberalism drew many, many critics, who blamed it for the Great Recession and financial crisis, Trumpism, Brexit and much else.
It is not surprising, then, that the Biden administration has distanced itself from the ideology, acknowledging that markets sometimes get it wrong. Foundations, think tanks and academics have even dared to imagine a post-neoliberal future.
Yet neoliberalism is far from dead. Worse, it has found an ally in A.G.I.-ism, which stands to reinforce and replicate its main biases: that private actors outperform public ones (the market bias), that adapting to reality beats transforming it (the adaptation bias) and that efficiency trumps social concerns (the efficiency bias).
These biases turn the alluring promise behind A.G.I. on its head: Instead of saving the world, the quest to build it will make things only worse. Here is how."

@SteveThompson @davidtoddmccarty I hear you. I am older also, but running into serious and worrisome tech knowledge gaps in these younger, so-called “digital natives”. Then we get to talking, and I find out I was working in advanced tech when they were still in diapers. #agism #ExperienceVsAge

Assisted-living communities too often fail to meet the needs of older people and should focus more on residents’ medical and mental health concerns, according to a recent report by a diverse panel of experts. https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2022/12/03/assisted-living-reforms-sicker-residents/ #Agism #PublicHealth
