Additional Information
It’s important to understand that even persons within the protected class can harass and discriminate against people who belong to their same protected class.
For instance, a 60-year-old can unlawfully harass and discriminate against other 60-year-olds, the same way that a 20-year-old can unlawfully harass or discriminate against a 60-year-old worker. The same is true for any protected class status, not just age.
The bottom line here? If you target someone for negative treatment because of their age - sooner or later, you just might end up defending yourself to your employer, to an opposing attorney, a government agency, or even a judge or jury.
