"We say we need older workers, but we still treat them as expendable."

Excellent comment by Prof Kat Riach @uofgasbs.bsky.social on workplace ageism in @TheScotsman - sharing thinking from her new book, ‘Working Through Ageing: Experiencing Growing Up and Older at Work'.

bit.ly/4h0QuJ9
Why workplace ageism costs a lot more than the £3.2 million compensation paid to 'old fossil'
The message from government is that we need to delay retirement and work for longer for the sake of the economy, but ageist attitudes see older people treated as if they were expendable
