50-Something Ex-Googler Gets Second Shot at Age Discrimination Case
Published October 5th, 2007
A California state appeals court in San Jose has reinstated an age discrimination case against Google brought by former employee Brian Reid. A California Superior Court judge had dismissed the case in 2005. Reid sued Google in 2004 following almost two years of employment at the search giant, primarily as director of operations and engineering. He was 54 when Google terminated him. Reid alleges that he was subject to derogatory comments from colleagues within the organization, who referred to him as an “old man,” an “old guy” and an “old fuddy-duddy.”
