i never had until maybe today. a couple new hires are significantly (and appearance-wise) older than most of the other younger workers here. they were gossiping about the fact, which made me wonder what they must have gossiped about me when i first started because i'm much closer in age to the new hires than the rest of the staff.

oh, I was excluded because I was married and because of age, but it didn't bother me......they're amateurs, I'm in the pro league. -- nm

I've only felt excluded because I am so awesome and everyone else was so incredibly jealous of my awesomeness -- nm

We're a young office, so I'm on the good side there, but in the last year's worth of growth, it's become more clichey. -- nm

Some. When I was at Chase, the group was mostly 18 - 24 year olds who partied some.

If there is exclusion, it must be pretty rare for young people to feel excluded.
