Wow, only 2 percent of people who work there are 40 or older?

Even so, it's hard to cry for an exec missing out on millions in stock options.

That is why google is so good, it is run by young people

I know I will regret that comment in 8 years when I turn 30.

I don't like it when companies fire employees over health conditions. If a person has trouble doing their position due to health difficulties, they should offer them a different position where the employee is more suitable.
