I don't understand. The Pro Publica study of around 1000 ex IBM employees versus your personal experience? Ok. Are you saying that there isn't an ageism problem? Ok. The fact is, technology companies have serious diversity problems. How much data will need to be presented for people to accept this and make an effort to work on it? Are you in a marginalized group besides the fact that you are an older worker? Can you imagine how truly difficult it would be if you were? I mean I'm happy that you aren't experiencing this problem yourself, but that doesn't mean that we just wave away what is actually happening. Just because lots of folks experience severe age discrimination doesn't take away from your or their accomplishments- it doesn't mean that you don't deserve the work and that if they were just generally "better" or more "skilled" that they would have lots of job offers.
