Multi-Generational Discrimination and Inequity has dominated this century for the vast majority of working class people all across the globe. If serious reimagination and change are not implemented into organizational programs and policies this decade, Millennial and Gen Z dehumanization is assured.

Talented, educated Gen X and Millennials are falling into the growing Underemployed Class, joining the Boomers now. Multi-Gen “Prime Ageism” biases have been baked into organizational
culture. The growing number of educated working class struggling are at the root of solving Employee Engagement and Experience. This has everything to do with Gender, Ethnic and of course, Age discrimination.
We feel leaders who continue to ignore human capital truths should not make human capital decisions.
This coming decade will define a country’s success in this century. Only strong, capable, informed experts will lead this multi-gen decade. The time for a better class of Leadership is NOW.
Unfair Practices
To keep employees in place, wage suppression tactics have become common among many companies, including major corporations for a long time. Tactics has been masked as company non-competes and corporate talent acquisition write job descriptions in language to dissuade groups of people from applying.
Wage Inequality
Every year the U.S. government tells us about the annual wage increase (a 2.9% rate in 2018) but if inflation comes in at 1.9% (as was the case in 2018) what are you left with? This is before paying taxes! While everything else goes up in cost, salaries have not. As a result, the middle class barely exists.
PRIME AGEISM
It’s called Prime Ageism and it can affect anyone and everyone, which is why I believe that it is the worst and most prevalent type of discrimination. Ageism doesn’t care about your gender, your ethnicity, or your physical appearance. It is bred out of sheer bias toward having gained experience and lived to middle age.
