This has been going on for 30 years. My uncle was let go when he turned 50, in 1995.

I also have an older cousin (old enough to be my Uncle, too) who worked there and he told me the same thing. They are classic for trying to screw people out of retirement. Have a good lawyer if you get work at these public IT firms.
My spouse has applied multiple times to no avail.
We do have a damn good lawyer.

Good riddance. Fucking boomer cunts taking up space and squandering their time. Younger generations are smarter, work harder, and yet disenfranchised because the gray ceiling has fucked their future. Fuck'em good fucking riddance you old fucks.

Not sure what to think about this. In a "pure" system we should not have age based law. However, ordering her to "lie" is the crime.

correction: Ordering her to falsify information to the Department of Labor is one crime.
Obeying that order is another crime.
She may or may not have proof of her supervisor's crime, but the Department of Labor has proof of her crime. I have little sympathy for her treacherous lying ass.
