The following is my informed, experienced opinion:...

The following is my informed, experienced opinion: I've tried to not say negative things about people or places. But my last job turned out to be such a negative experience that I find I must speak out. When I first started working at the Andis Company in October of 2016 I thought I had found the best company for which to work and complete my engineering career. Every single employee with whom I interacted, including my immediate supervisor, and to whom I provided engineering support had nothing but positives and compliments to say about my efforts and behavior. That is until they hired the Director of Quality about one week after I was hired. The Quality Department Manager, who also always complimented me for my performance, retired in 2017. Immediately thereafter, the Director of Quality began his age discrimination against me. He created a hostile working environment for the oldest engineer in the department (me) while he grossly favored the youngest engineer in the department. He loaded me down with work while the youngest engineer had all responsibilities except one removed, with some of his added to me on top of everything I was already successfully doing. When I filed an age discrimination complaint for creating a hostile working environment for older workers with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, Equal Rights Division, the Andis Company submitted false information (lied repeatedly) to the Equal Rights Division. For some reason or reasons that nobody will explain, the Equal Rights Division apparently ignored the evidence I submitted that clearly proves the Andis Company lied and ruled there was NO PROBABLE CAUSE for my age discrimination complaint. Not one of my former coworkers would come forward to tell the truth, which is all I have ever asked. It is my informed, experienced opinion that anyone who is unbiased, impartial and fair who reviews the facts in evidence will agree that my age discrimination complaint should have been ruled as FOR CAUSE. And he and the Andis Company should be held accountable as per the complaint. While the Andis Company claims to have such high ethics and values, they obviously abandon them as necessary. So, if anyone wishes to work for or do business with such a company, that is your decision. I strongly advise those hair grooming business owners and general consumers in the protected age group to reconsider doing so.
