In California, discrimination based on age is against the law. A university employee recently sued her employer for ageism. Ageism is discrimination based on age. She alleged that her employers made her work environment a hostile, unhealthy place and that her employer did so because of her age. The woman is 66 and age discrimination can occur against a man or woman older than 40 years old.

Ways your employer might be discriminating against you because of your age include giving you poor performance evaluations so that you are not considered for a raise, firing you, or not hiring you.
