Age Discrimination and
Employment:
A Scenario:
Ella had worked as an accountant for Guard
Simon Till, a once
prestigious accounting firm, for over 25 years before she was laid of after the firm suffered a great loss of
clients due to a scandal. The fifty-five year old then applies for a
position as an accountant for Watch
Your Money, an
accounting firm in Toronto with 25 employees.
Forty year
old senior partner David Dill is impressed by Ella’s credentials and
understands that Ella had no involvement in G.S.T.’s scandal. Still he feels that Ella’s years of experience make
her over qualified for the accountant position at his firm. David thinks that a
professional at Ella’s stage of life would not care to take directions from him
or his partners, who are either David’s age or younger. What advice would you
give David?
