I would never publicly post opinions that could put me or my current or future employer/company into legal jeopardy with respect to discrimination against protected classes.

Yet, there seems to be quite a bit of this on here.

In the US, age is only a protected class for the range of 40+, as per federal law.

However, what we're talking about is experience. Those with little experience are not members of a protected class.

For example, a CEO getting up on stage saying "We never hire anybody older than 28 years old!"

As far as I know, nothing ever happened because of that.
