So what is your definition of a good candidate?? White male in his 40’s or 50’s? If no one has shared….. good candidates come in all shades or color and ages. White ain’t always right…

Lilly to Pay $2.4 Million to Settle Nationwide EEOC Age Discrimination Lawsuit
Assuming multiple individuals may have been discriminated against by Lilly, this $2.4 million settlement is a pretty good bargain for the company, and no deterrent to continuing these practices?

Got an email stating I'm part of the settlement class. I'll probably get a check for a few hundred dollars. I wasn't unhappy when I was told I wasn't selected for the position as the hiring mgr seemed to be uptight and not very friendly. I ended up getting a much better job selling an MS drug (which is what I wanted). This will be the third lawsuit payout I've received during my time in pharma (the biggest by far was an overtime settlement from Novartis).
Good... glad this happening! This has been so obvious for years!
Is this why the only job openings Lilly has posted for the last 2 years have been entry level field based sales rep roles!! Shameful!!
Interviewed a little over a year ago twice and it was obvious the panel managers didn't want me due to age. I had a stellar 25 year career with multiple presidents club awards and I knew once on the video interviews with both managers they wanted someone young and someone who wasn't results driven. I am happy now cause I landed with a company that appreciated my experience.
I left this shithole a few years ago. I am a hiring manager at my new organization and I would hire you and your experience any day! Just remember we are all really well trained at Lilly, so take that with you when you go to a better place!
Just sent back the form acknowledging the payout I'll be receiving. Thanks Lilly!
Jay Powell will be onboarding soon. He can find positive results in any data. Just goes to show, age and wisdom are just two peas in a pod. Clinical trials will never be the same.
Did you hear about the class action lawsuit of the past four generations of Lilly employees forced out early by age discrimination? Neither did I. I just made it up. Tiny bubbles 
Can dead people be represented in a class action lawsuit?
In all seriousness... why has hiring and firing in America become such a toxic swamp? You gotta get dirty to get into it, and for sure, you get a lot dirtier by the time you get out of it. All of this management by spreadsheet, arbitrary and capricious goals that have no bearing on actual job performance, who you play golf with, who you go to church with... Hey none of that stuff is wrong per se, but when it's all happening at once with your peers, a strong manager with balls is required. Otherwise, staff regress into grade school style antics. Been there done that got a dozen t-shirts to prove it. The group needs to focus on its goals. That's the whole point of groups, you get stuff done that wouldn't be possible for an individual.
