The law in my state defines ageism as discriminating against people over forty.
Fun fact! I complained at a job once because I was up for promotion and instead they hired a 22 year old with no experience vs my 11 years experience in the field and my boss accused me, a 35 year old, of ageism against this 22 year old person.
Funner fact! It wasn’t actually ageism on my part but sexism on their part, because I happen to be a 35 year old woman and they chose to hire a 22 year old boy to be my boss. Then they asked me to train him. Then they fired me.
