科技招聘平台Hired的研究显示，当科技行业从业者达到45岁的“高龄”时，他们会发现自己能找到的工作减少了。
When tech workers reach the grand old age of 45, they see the number of jobs they are offered drop, according to research by Hired, a tech recruitment platform.
45岁时收入开始下滑，50、60多岁的应聘者对薪酬的要求与只有2年工作经验的千禧一代一样。
Salaries begin to fall for those aged 45, with candidates in their 50s and 60s asking for the same pay as millennials with just two years' experience.
为美国老年人维护权益的组织--美国退休人员协会的资深律师劳里·麦卡恩表示，科技行业的老年歧视现象是个“非常严重的问题”。
Laurie McCann, a senior attorney with AARP, which advocates for older people's rights in the US, says ageism in the tech industry is a "very big problem".
该组织2013年进行的一项调查显示，2/3较年长的科技行业从业者表示，他们在工作中目睹或经历过年龄歧视。
Two-thirds of older tech workers say they have witnessed or experienced age discrimination at work, according to a 2013 survey by the organization.
麦卡恩说道：“人们吹嘘着其员工的平均年龄有多么年轻，还不客气地对比较年长的人说贬损的话，几乎就像他们凌驾在法律之上一样。”
"People brag about how young the average age of their workforce is and say downright derogatory things to older people, almost like they are above the law," McCann says.
《这把椅子好得很：反对年龄歧视的宣言》的作者阿什顿·阿普尔怀特表示，年龄歧视诉讼很少的一个原因是，人们不愿意承认自己年龄较大。
Ashton Applewhite, author of "This Chair Rocks: a Manifesto Against Ageism", says one of the reasons few age discrimination lawsuits are brought is people are reluctant to identify themselves as older.
她说道：“年龄歧视往往是白人男性在职场遭遇的第一大类歧视。我真的希望那些人变得激进一些。”
"Age discrimination is often the first kind of discrimination that white men encounter in the workplace," she says. "I'm really looking forward to those guys getting radicalised."
