Technology requires constant traning as much as your profession does.
People get left behind.
Age discrimination has always been a factor. In a competitive world
why should an employer retain an underperforming person? Of course I
agree that loyalty is a consideration. Although I worked at a major
corporation it was very family-oriented.
I hired a number of single mothers regardless of age because they had
to be loyal employees and earn a living. It worked very well since
almost all of them retired.
But I tend to regard many laws as suggestions.
