Well then having pre-cognizance that US employment law is way too employer-friendly the response to my original post should have been, don't even bother to take a legal route,who cares about actual information about law if it is totally ineffectual to the needs of a common man instead of taking...

This explains why status quo sustains and it's akin to saying to someone who met with a car accident that they need to be seeing an orthopedic doctor since their legs are so easily broken with a mere car accident rather than critically and objectively analysing the situation.

I had that revelation much earlier from this thread and I now have a better insight why laws are not changing for good for more than half a century.

based on the discussions in this thread feeling is worth a toilet paper in the eyes of law.Its the facts and supporting artifacts that matter but then someone else mentioned performance evaluations at workplace don't matter at all.what else can a victimized employee bring to scrutiny?

it's not poor performance either.It's an engineered lay off for no reason and the law is cool with it.

stopping whining will not the change the situation,I got lucky most others in similar situations are not.Their self respect and confidence get battered to death and end up settling with less than ideal situation.

Its not simplistic to answer this since the corporate world is not simplistic ,it has people in power with complex and highly inflated egos and speaking one's mind often puts one in trouble.

To me it was clearly a case of retaliation.Nominally hiring someone to terminate one's employment is outrageous,calling it a harassment is just an understatement.It amounts to murdering one's soul especially after giving a decade's worth of your life and blood to the employer.The company's...

One can put it any witch way,no amount of euphemism would change the truth.With so much leeway for the defendant to tamper the truth and easily justify a wrong doing while putting the burden of proof on the plaintiff.The chances of justice are zero for a common man and fight for justice will...

Got it,looks like it essentially boils down to an employer can easily go scott free with any level of employee harassment or discrimination.The laws are there just to shield the employers and now it makes lot of sense why my ex manager put such a bold face without even the slightest fear of...

I certainly have evidence for falsified work evaluation but I am not sure what would substantiate to prove "fired specifically because I was 40+" .I work in a specialized field and was the only one in the entire organization doing that kind of work ,they hired a younger and less experienced...

I work in a specialized field and was the only one in the entire organization doing that kind of work.They found a younger and less experienced (hence cheaper replacement).Does this help make age claim less difficult?

Yes

They terminated soon after I turned 40 and cited performance explicitly as a reason for termination (with falsified work evaluation under the hood) this strategy enabled them to terminate without giving me a severance pay
