A lot of people who were recently cut were in the 50+ age bracket. And I mean a lot. To the point where it's bordering on age discrimination, if not even going beyond that. I was just wondering if there is ground for a class action based on that and if the answer is yes, how would somebody go about starting the process?

As someone that was laid off recently, in the layoff paperwork, they give you a anonymized listing of the roles laid off and the ages of the person. This way they try to prove to you that it is not bound to a specific age groups or ranges.
@bt i am meeting with my lawyet next week
Don’t ask here. Ask a plaintiff’s lawyer. Look up past lawyers who have had cases against Comcast.
hahahahaha
@a4 I'm living proof that that aint always the case
the case can easily be made that laying off high earners is the easiest way to solve a budget issue. people in their 50s tend to be higher up in the hierarchy. gonna be a tough case to win with that in mind
You damn skippy. Anyone over 50 should get an EEOC case going.
50+ also happen to make larger salaries. I would assume its more about salary range than age.
