Maybe I sound thin-skinned. It’s just a few wisecracks, after all. These are not bad people. For the most part they’re not trying to be mean about my age. It probably never occurs to them that any of this is hurtful to me. Of course I’m not going to mention any of this to the HR department. It would only make me seem nuts and paranoid and, worst of all, old, which is the last thing I want to be. This is no doubt why older workers tend not to complain about age discrimination. Who wants to sound like a whiner?
