Workplace Generational Discrimination Complaint Form

Report Generational Discrimination in Your Workplace

Generational discrimination—whether directed at Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, or any age group—creates unfair barriers and undermines workplace equity. This Workplace Generational Discrimination Complaint Form helps HR teams and employees address age-based bias, technology stereotyping, and intergenerational equity issues with professionalism and clarity.

Common Forms of Generational Discrimination

Generational bias can take many forms, including:

• Age proxy stereotyping such as "too old to learn new systems" or "too young to lead"
• Technology assumption discrimination like assuming older workers can't adapt to digital tools or younger workers lack work ethic
• Career progression barriers based on perceived generational traits rather than actual performance
• Exclusion from projects, meetings, or opportunities tied to generational assumptions
• Hostile comments or jokes that demean or marginalize based on age or generation
