Its time for the old timers to go. They've crippled the company enough.

The only language corporate la breakers understand is $$$$ . File EEOC Complaints when they age discriminate, follow up with lawyer action if eeoc caves. They may be good at concealing the facts but the odds of truth coming out is on justice's side. Do your part and file the complaint. Sooner or later their game of concealment will crumble.

This is directly from a VDSI job posting... Note the emphasis on the below-30 average age at VDSI in the last sentence.

Given the bias, I wonder if the board might fire lowell and bring in Marissa Mayer from yahoo, in keeping with their anti male anit 50+ year old policies.

To be sure, the company is blatantly biased against 50 somethings, and particularly so if they are straight, white males of European extraction. The company does a pretty good job of covering their tracks. I do however believe that it will however catch up with them in the next administration, when they begin to investigate the mounting EEOC claims against the company for age and sex discrimination, H1B and green card abuses.
