Facebook Hates Old People! – So They’re Getting Sued!

Facebook hates “old” people….

How old is old? Well… let’s just say that over at Facebook, you’re basically a mummy if you’re in your 50s.

(Note: before anyone throws their dentures at me in a fit of rage, no…. I don’t think 50 is old. Moving on.)

According to TMZ:

Facebook created a workplace where employees openly mocked a guy for being as ancient as — wait for it — 50 years old … at least according to the ex-worker who’s suing.

 

Gary Glouner says he worked under the Facebook umbrella for 2 years, and during that time was the butt of many ageist jokes. According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, the age cracks included:

 

– “Old people shouldn’t be working at Facebook; they just don’t relate”
– “Old people are just creepy”
– “Old people don’t belong at Facebook”

 

Glouner says Mark Zuckerberg himself made public comments in 2007 where he said, “Young people are just smarter.” He adds … the ageism was institutional because during an HR presentation they displayed a chart highlighting the low energy of employees in their 50s.

 

Worst of all, he says his co-workers in their 20s and 30s always got cake and group celebrations — while he got bupkis. Glouner says his boss told him they didn’t want to embarrass him by highlighting his advanced age.

So “inclusive and tolerant” Facebook isn’t inclusive at all, and SUCK-erberg is a d*ck. Is anyone legitimately shocked by this?

PS I want birthday celebrations until the day I die at 117. No cake is BY FAR the most upsetting part of this story.
