😒 25 years and younger

Reveals and feeds biases against people under 25

We generally associate ageism with discrimination against older age groups. But ageism cuts both ways. Younger people, too, experience age-based discrimination, especially in a corporate culture that equates years on the job with skill and the ability to take on responsibility. Negative stereotypes about Millenials and Gen Z, from a “need to be coddled” to a lack of interest in “putting in the work,” negatively impact their career trajectories and access to mentorship and promotions. Avoid age-based clichés to show you value people for their abilities and capabilities no matter their chronological age.
