This Is Not Succession Planning!

The law is pretty clear, adults over 40 in the workplace are a protected class. This video does a great job showing how things like 'succession planning' can lead to larger workplace issues. It’s important to understand that persons within the protected class can harass and discriminate against people who belong to the 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.
