Too Old To Google? Google Accused Of Age Discrimination
from the here-they-come... dept
Funny that the lawsuits against Google seem to be coming faster and faster the closer we get to the IPO. The latest is that Google is being accused of age discrimination in the firing of a director there, apparently suggesting to him that he didn't fit with their "youthful atmosphere." As with many such claims, it's tough to tell what the real details are. The guy stands to lose a lot in the stock he didn't get, and while the filing makes some serious claims, these types of lawsuits are usually pretty difficult to prove.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
