I’m out of here. Better to leave early 40s while I can still remake myself and get hired than wait five years with no raises only to be fired in 50s and unable to find a new job. Age discrimination is real. Get out while you still can and find a job in a growing industry and growing company.

Same with disability discrimination. When there are mass layoffs, the company makes sure to include as many disabled as possible because they can offset it with those who are not disabled for it to appear that they were not targeted. Older employees and disabled employees are considered liabilities. I do not agree, but this is what corporate America thinks.
Very true about age discrimination. HR has gotten creative over the years to find a way to disguise it as performance issue.
Great for you! Congratulations! Did you find a new job?
