最近一位女子吐槽职场的视频在 TikTok 上迅速走红，还掀起了一场有关职场年龄歧视的大讨论。该女子表示，她拒绝培训一位被提拔到她之上的 25 岁同事，称企业往往剥削资深员工，却偏爱更年轻、成本更低的员工。
在 2 月 10 日发布的视频中，这位网名为 The Unobsolete（@theunobsolete）的创作者自曝，她为之效力多年的公司没有提拔她，却期望她无偿交出数十年的工作经验，“他们竟然希望我去教她那份他们认为我‘不够资格’胜任的工作。”她进一步表示，如果公司想要她 25 年的经验积累，就必须给予相应的报酬。她不会接受被一个更年轻、愿意以她薪水一小部分工作的员工取代，然后还要用自己的经验去培训对方。
“我不是你们的免费培训项目。你们想让我在被羞辱时还面带微笑？找错人了。”
Unobsolete 透露，因为她的这个决定，她遭到公司方面的指责和反对，但她告诉网友，自己并不在意。“他们说我不支持团队。我说，是团队没有支持我。”视频最后，她还给出了关于如何在职场中立足的建议：“当你不再有利用价值的那一刻，他们就不再假装关心你。所以，别再假装你亏欠他们什么。”
@theunobsolete watched 25-year-old get my promotion then ask me to train her. I said no. Not sorry. Not maybe. Just no. She shocked. Manager furious. HR email about team player. Don’t care. They passed me over for promotion I earned. Gave it to someone with zero experience. Expected me to teach her job they said I wasn’t good enough for. Train my replacement? Pay me. Want 25 years knowledge? Triple salary consulting rates. Want me to smile while you humiliate me? Wrong person. Not your free training program. Not making cheap hire look competent. Not handing over everything so you can pay her half. They said unprofessional. I said appropriately compensated or not sharing. They said not supporting team. I said team didn’t support me. Silence. Second you stop being useful they stop caring. Stop pretending you owe them anything.#promotions #over50 #notateamplayer #genx #isaidno ♬ original sound - The Unobsolete
这则视频发布后迅速走红，获得近 400 万次观看和 40 万个点赞。大多数评论都支持这位创作者，赞扬她坚守立场，反击年龄歧视。一位网友评论道：“被团队耍了，就没必要再当什么团队成员。”另一位则表示：“应该有人告诉美国企业界，这种做法是违法的。”还有人直言：“年龄歧视依然猖獗。”
也有网友分享了自己在职场中遭遇的不公。一位 TikTok 网友回忆道：“他们雇了 6 个人来接替我和我的工作，还想让我培训他们。不干。”另一位网友则说：“我姑姑因为同样的情况起诉了俄亥俄州政府，并且胜诉了。你做得对。”
《福布斯》报导称，99% 的 40 岁以上员工表示曾在职场中遭遇年龄歧视。这些经历包括面对年龄刻板印象、遭受欺凌，以及感受到隐藏年龄的压力。此外，根据美国退休人员协会的数据，22% 的 50 岁以上员工表示，他们因年龄原因被迫离开岗位。
而在发布原始视频一天后，Unobsolete 更新了她的情况，再次获得超过 230 万次观看。在新视频中，她透露公司召开了一次会议讨论她的“态度”问题。虽然她没有被解雇，因为那是违法的，但会后她开始被排除在公司活动之外，工作量也被减少。她的日常交互也不断受到审查。这并不令人意外，因为会议上有人警告她，公司文化可能“不适合”她。
对此，Unobsolete 在会议中回应：“我同意。一个剥削经验的企业文化，也不适合我。”
@theunobsolete UPDATE: Refused to train replacement. What happened next I expected. Two days later meeting with manager and HR. My attitude. Not that they passed me over or wanted free labor. My attitude refusing exploitation. They said not collaborative poor leadership need team players. I said you passed me over want free training punish boundaries that’s control not collaboration. Silence. Not willing develop staff maybe not culture fit. I said right. Culture exploiting experience isn’t my fit. Ready for compensation talk? No? Back to my job. Didn’t fire me. Can’t. Lawsuit risk. Instead stopped including meetings gave projects away documented everything performance issues. Managed out playbook. I documented everything back. Every email meeting project. Knew exactly what they were doing. #promotions #isaidno #refused# #over45 #corporatetiktok ♬ original sound - The Unobsolete
