Why it worked
The post uses a provocative and relatable contrast to highlight ageism in the workplace, prompting reflection and discussion on a sensitive topic.
Summary
The post contrasts the perception of age, noting that people dying in their 40s or 50s are considered young, while those in the same age range in corporate settings are considered old. It questions whether society can normalize judging human ability based on value, skills, and impact rather than age.

normalise judging human
ability based on the
value, skills or impact
they bring to the table
instead of their age?
