Love it 😻

It’s the Age Without Limits Action Day from @agewithoutlimit There are many campaign resources but we particularly like the 'Challenging ageism through everyday conversations' advice. Ageism is ingrained in society and the campaign advocates for having conversations to question why ageing or older people are talked about in a certain way. Take a look – there are phrases we can all fall into the habit of using and there are also hints as to how you can respond if someone refers to you in an ageist manner. agewithoutlimits.org/resourc… #AgeWithoutLimits #Ageism

Thanks for getting involved! @agewithoutlimit #Ageism Day of Action.

Last year, I was offered a job even after disclosing a stage IV cancer diagnosis. Highlighting the very best of workplace acceptance and culture. But today, my husband unexpectedly had a job offer rescinded after letting the company know he may need 2 days off, a month after starting to help me recover from a possible minor surgery. We’re both software engineers and both companies are in the healthcare space. The response he received highlights the discrimination that not only many patients face but also their caregivers. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disheartened and frustrated by their response. When faced with the choice, be company A not company B. We’ve faced bigger hurdles and come out on top, so on we go. In other news, if anyone is looking to hire a talented software engineer w/experience in healthcare. I know a guy 😉 Here’s a photo of us on my birthday this year. We celebrated with a hackathon building tools/apps for cancer patients. Yes, that was my actual birthday request. Things get real nerdy around here.
