Have you encountered casual ageism?I worked on a very busy Hospital ward doing 12 hour shifts along side some lovely young member of the team. But just a couple used age against me but not in a funny friendly way. They were smokers and needed their fix. One shift a younger HCA said " You oldies don't exercise " so I shrugged my shoulder in disgust and nearly fainted then went off work for a new left shoulder. Swam today 1/2 mile with my grand-daughter and back at work tomorrow. All be it at a different job. Have to keep going until 66 so need to be fit. So much for the young. I've always worked along side them without a problem and love to pass on my experience if I can .
