It is not relevant to ask someone's age. You can work it out roughly from their CV and, anyway, the important thing is whether or not they have the ability to do the job, not how old they are. ngansicachu https://padlet.com/ngansicachu/pljlcfq18vsm11ce/wish/2543972779 2023-04-04 17:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ngansicachu/pljlcfq18vsm11ce/wish/2543972779 2. I totally agree and older people have a lot of experience and knowledge to offer. Plus they are often better employees than their younger colleagues - they're more reliable and take less time off work. ngansicachu https://padlet.com/ngansicachu/pljlcfq18vsm11ce/wish/2543972900 2023-04-04 17:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ngansicachu/pljlcfq18vsm11ce/wish/2543972900 3. Older people are not as flexible, they expect higher salaries and they get sick a lot. And they have trouble fitting into a young team. Companies want younger employees who can bring in fresh ideas and are not so expensive! ngansicachu https://padlet.com/ngansicachu/pljlcfq18vsm11ce/wish/2543973009 2023-04-04 17:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ngansicachu/pljlcfq18vsm11ce/wish/2543973009 4. You can't run a company efficiently with young, inexperienced people. You need to retain older managers to train the younger ones and you have to organize effective succession planning in a company. There should be capacity for a broad age range and diverse experience in all areas of the business. ngansicachu https://padlet.com/ngansicachu/pljlcfq18vsm11ce/wish/2543973174 2023-04-04 17:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ngansicachu/pljlcfq18vsm11ce/wish/2543973174 5. I think laws on age discrimination are wrong. Why should the government be able to tell us who to hire? Only the companies know which people are right - or wrong - for the job. The government shouldn't tell us how to run our business. ngansicachu https://padlet.com/ngansicachu/pljlcfq18vsm11ce/wish/2543973258 2023-04-04 17:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ngansicachu/pljlcfq18vsm11ce/wish/2543973258
