How Does Age Discrimination Happen in San Bernardino
Discrimination is not always as immediately obvious or clear as you may think. As well as the more evident examples of being dismissed, demoted, or passed over for promotion due to your age, you may find that you are becoming the subject of workplace jokes, victimized by harassment, denied the training you need to develop professionally or receive performance reviews which suggest your work is at a significantly lower standard than is fair. Perhaps you have been working under a management and leadership team who regularly comment about a need for younger employees and the positive changes that could be brought about by introducing “young blood”. Any of these scenarios could qualify you to bring an age discrimination lawsuit – if you are at least 40 years of age – and our lawyers are dedicated to securing the best possible outcome from your case.
As soon as you begin to suspect that you may be the target of age discrimination in the workplace, it is recommended that you make a note of the details of every instance, including what happened, when and where it occurred, and who was involved. This information may prove invaluable when your San Bernardino age discrimination attorney is building a strong case on your behalf.
When confronted about the reasons for terminating your employment or looking you over for promotion, your employer may claim that this was done for a legitimate reason, making it essential to have has much evidence as possible at your fingertips.
