Ex-Activision exec accuses publisher of discriminating against "old white guys"

This just in: young professionals of any background without much industry experience are cheaper than their older counterparts who are busy drawing pensions.

These fucking guys. They all follow the same stupid fucking playbook but when it finally bites one of them in the ass, it is a bridge too far.

This is really about young people, even executives, being cheaper to pay than their counterparts who have decades of experience.

This is as old as age discrimination itself. These guys did this to themselves. They set the rules of the game, but are angry when the rules end up applying to them.

More Boomers and Gen Xers just acting out the whole "rules for thee but not for me" schtick.

For reasons unknown this reaction was placed wrongly. My client fucked up.

It is in response to https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/u/SnotFlickerman

What are you saying? Age discrimination is ok? Older people are too expensive? This is a made up problem?

Or are you saying this is ok because it has been happening for decades and it shouldn't change because it has been going on forever ?

I don't get it.

Discrimination is bad, m'kay? Against white, yellow, black, red, old, young, man, women, trans and everything in between I forgot. It all shouldn't matter. Especially in the corporate world.

It's bullshit. If someone does a good job there is no reason to fire them. If it's true then i say to this guy : good for you. Make 'em pay.
