This is sad but good advice. I'm in my late 40s, and my hair is getting pretty gray, so I've started using comb-in color to tone it down. It's not about vanity; I just want to avoid standing out as older than many people around me.

I've had some amazing experiences in my career, but I've started dropping off some of my older work. I don’t include my graduation date on my resume, for example. I have nearly 30 years of solid, relevant experience, but I need to trim it down to the last 12 years or so.

Ageism is incredibly difficult to prove. Plus, you don’t want your name in the paper as someone who sues employers; it can make you seem toxic to future employers.

The whole of it is sad...I mean, that fact that all of us beginning at a certain age need to begin to activate some life hacks is sad in so many ways. I wonder also, what did our peers 1 or 2 or 3 generations ago do at a certain point in their life to cope against ageism...assuming ageism was even a pronounced thing? (I say "pronounced" because i assume there has always been a thing of kicking the older folks to the pasture, but not sure if it was the same as nowadays.) /sigh
