A recent job advertisement in China has ignited a wave of backlash on social media over its discriminatory language targeting middle-aged individuals. The controversial ad, which was posted by an unnamed company, explicitly stated that candidates should be 'under 30 years old' and 'born after 1990.'
This age restriction sparked outrage among netizens, with many condemning the ad for perpetuating ageism and discrimination in the job market. The term 'middle-age' was particularly criticized for its negative connotations and exclusionary implications.
