Anti-Ageism Laws

[up4it]

Have the anti-ageism in the work-place laws introduced in the UK had any effect that you have noticed?

Personally, I think they have had some effect.

Or, maybe zimmer frames are now more common in the work-place!

Quite right. I always insist on my right to leave my colostomy bag on the photocopier and if anyone complains I will damn well see them sued.

I have noticed that (almost) everyone has stopped asking you how old you are.

This can be a good thing at the start of the recruitment process as it stops biggoted managers putting oldies in the "no" pile without giving them a chance to show that they are capable of doing the job.

Until they turn up at the interview with grey hair and wrinkles.

Fortunately, I don't look my age. (I also know someone who looked 20 years older than she is).
