Google company
The story began with a lawsuit filed by Cheryl Fillekes, who tried four times over 7 years to get a job at Google, but failed. According to her, it's a matter of age, although she was highly qualified. Fillekes said that the company has a "systematic practice of discrimination", after which she went to court.
The corporation denies knowingly refusing to hire older employees, but decided to satisfy the claims of plaintiffs aged 40 and older. At the same time, in addition to the fine, the court ordered Alphabet Inc. set up a committee on age issues in recruitment, and conduct trainings on this topic.
Also, Google said that Phyllex and other applicants she cited as examples did not demonstrate the technical ability required for the job. Although during the interviews, the personnel departments determined their level as suitable for the company. Finally, the corporation noted that they are trying to fight discrimination in all manifestations, including age.
