Heath was 60 years old at that time.
According to US Department of Labor, the median age is 42.4 years.
Heath was contacted by Sam Chun, a Google recruiter in February 2011.
Heaths lawyer points it out in the complaint:
The Google interviewer was barely fluent in English.
The interviewer used a speaker phone that did not function well.
According to Heath, the first two set of questions were answered completely and accurately.
Reid said he was told he wasnt a cultural fit, and later removed from his job.
Heath was never recruited at Google, unlike Reid who claims that he got fired unfairly.
Googles pattern and practice of discriminating failed to comply with federal age discrimination laws, the complaint claims.
However, Google chose not to respond to Ars request for comment about the case.
The WSJ also saw into where the median age data in Heaths lawsuit came from.
The numbers are obtained from Payscale.com, which processed the median based on self-reporting by 840 Google employees.
The entire data from Payscale is given below.
