question................?
Your neighbor Jack, age 50, works for DPS, a delivery company in Phoenix. Recently he was told that DPS was downsizing. Workers under the age of 55 were given help writing their resume, finding new jobs and a buyout equivalent to 3 months salary to help until they find work. Workers 55 and older were asked to take a one time bonus check of $1000 and asked to sign away their right to sue the company for any reason. In your perception, what is happening here? If you were 55, would you take the $1000 and sign the agreement?

Age discrimination. I'm pretty sure it's illegal for DPS to do this. If I were 55 and forced to choose, I would sue the company. If I were 56, I would sue the company. If I were 54, I would thank them for helping me find a new job.
