California High Court to Hear Google Age Discrimination Case

The California Supreme Court says it will consider an age discrimination lawsuit filed against Google by a 54 year old ex-employee. The man was fired before the company went public, imagine how much he lost out on in stock options alone.

Brian Reid alleges he was told he was not a "cultural fit" when he was being fired from his job in February 2004. He also claims that his colleagues referred to him as "old man" and "fuddy-duddy." Google has declined to comment on the matter but says Reid was let go because the in-house graduate degree program department he had been assigned to was eliminated.
