Flip It

Why am I joining the #FlipTheScript campaign? Because the prevailing script about age in the workplace is clearly upside down.

Hiring policies that favor youngers because “they’ll be around longer,” when the data show quite the opposite? Upside down.

Consultants who talk about “generations” and suggest there’s friction between colleagues of different ages, when that approach actually creates friction that wasn’t there? Upside down.

Creating an environment where every employee lives under the sword of Damocles, knowing their perceived value is tied to age—something no one can control? It’s all flippin’ upside down.
