Jerlene Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 If someone is too young to do a job or too old to do a job then they shouldn't be hired. It's probably safer for everyone that they not be hired. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-o Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Thing is they are looking for young people with experience; and that's incompatible at some point in the life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerlene Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Well with age usually comes experience so if it is actually experience that an employer is looking for they should just go for the older person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this sentiment because the younger employees tend to be inexperienced to handle very demanding situations or suffer from a bit of immaturity. The way older folks tend to suffer from old age-related issues such as slower response time, lack of energy, poor eyesight, judgement and can be quite grumpy...

Alexander. Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Here's my opinion. Everyone nowadays has to be treated as equal regardless of their age, gender, race, disabilities, etc. Times have changed, at least everybody is given the same opportunity in life.

Just because some one is a bit younger doesn't mean they are immature. I knew kids that were a lot more mature than full grown adults when I was 12. Also it's unfair to say that older workers are slow, lethargic, can't see or have bad judgement. Just because they are older doesn't mean they have Alzheimer's You need to look at performance, not age. That's all there is to it. Judging strictly by age is not only discrimination, it's prejudice.

Because of my experience in law enforcement, I have worked with many people of various ages and what I said in my statement earlier does apply to most situations especially in a pressurized environment where one mistake can cost you your reputation, source of stable income and your freedom(in extreme cases your life). Performance should be the standard by which you should be judged but in the case of law enforcement, you require way more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
