Funny how woke companies get much less woke on issues that actually affect them.
Unless the numbers changed…. ~5 years ago the average lilly employee was over 50.
They went on a 5/10 year plan to get the average age closer to 40.
You do not lower your average age and create longevity by hiring the majority of people less than a decade from retirement…
The numbers changed when they bought out a couple thousand employees in their 50s with early retirement offers in 2018.
*50s and 60s
Not sure if there’s discrimination here but there’s certainly also an allegation of “beauty bias”… eg. “younger applicants as being more physically attractive than older applicants.” Although bias like this is definitely not good for business…. not sure it’s discrimination. Let the courts decide….
They are talking about pharmaceutical sales reps and the entire industry has always been like that. Many years ago after trying to work with recruiters when I was 40 for a pharmaceutical sales rep position and after many months of never making contact a kind recruiter sat me down and told me the truth that I wasn’t young or good looking enough to get an interview for that type of job. In addition I have also experienced the same ageism in the IT sales industry. I’m not sure what they are trying to accomplish here since it is a hugely widespread problem with many industries. From my own experiences and personal observations sales reps in their 50’s can’t get interviews and eventually give up. It’s a sad state of affairs that’s wrong, but good luck proving it.
Proving it? This should be able to go to court next week. Subpoena Lilly’s employment data for that job as well as the data from the applications for that job. I’m 100% confident they are guilty and 100% confident Lilly will buy their way out of it and walk with no issues.
You walk into any medical office bldg and you see all the Barbie and Ken sales Reps. The women all look a like, high heels, short skirt and the top button may have got lost in the wash. The men are in there skinny dress pants, button down shirt and tie.
Put them in a line up and they stand out.
Chuck is accurate.
This will settle out of court at best…or it will be dropped.
“Equal opportunity employment” is about as cute you conform to the woke game plan.
Found the boomers
Why would a company want to hire someone who could potentially work for 20-30 years when they could hire someone who could retire in 10?
