一段关于拒绝培训年轻同事的视频，近日在 TikTok 上迅速走红，也点燃了有关职场年龄歧视的讨论。一位网名为 The Unobsolete（@theunobsolete） 的创作者表示，她拒绝培训一名被提拔到自己之上的25岁同事，认为企业正在剥削资深员工，却偏向更年轻、成本更低的劳动力。
在2月10日发布的视频中，她称自己在公司工作多年，却未获得晋升，反而被要求将积累数十年的经验无偿交出。“他们竟然希望我去教她那份他们认为我‘不够资格’胜任的工作。”她表示，如果公司希望获得她25年的经验，就必须给予相应报酬。
她进一步指出，自己无法接受被一个更年轻、愿意以更低薪资工作的员工取代，同时还要负责培训对方。“我不是你们的免费培训项目。你们想让我在被羞辱时还面带微笑？找错人了。”
Unobsolete 透露，这一决定让她遭到公司方面的批评，被指“不支持团队”。对此她回应：“他们说我不支持团队。我说，是团队没有支持我。”在视频结尾，她也分享了自己的职场看法：“当你不再有利用价值的那一刻，他们就不再假装关心你。所以，别再假装你亏欠他们什么。”
@theunobsolete watched 25-year-old get my promotion then ask me to train her. I said no. Not sorry. Not maybe. Just no. She shocked. Manager furious. HR email about team player. Don’t care. They passed me over for promotion I earned. Gave it to someone with zero experience. Expected me to teach her job they said I wasn’t good enough for. Train my replacement? Pay me. Want 25 years knowledge? Triple salary consulting rates. Want me to smile while you humiliate me? Wrong person. Not your free training program. Not making cheap hire look competent. Not handing over everything so you can pay her half. They said unprofessional. I said appropriately compensated or not sharing. They said not supporting team. I said team didn’t support me. Silence. Second you stop being useful they stop caring. Stop pretending you owe them anything.#promotions #over50 #notateamplayer #genx #isaidno ♬ original sound - The Unobsolete
这段视频迅速获得近400万次观看和40万个点赞，评论区中不少网友表达支持，认为她是在反击年龄歧视。有人写道：“被团队耍了，就没必要再当什么团队成员。”也有人表示：“应该有人告诉美国企业界，这种做法是违法的。”还有评论直言：“年龄歧视依然猖獗。”
不少网友也分享了类似经历。一位用户表示，公司雇了多人接替自己的岗位，同时要求自己负责培训，“不干。”另一位网友则提到，自己的家人因类似情况起诉并胜诉。
根据 福布斯 报导，99%的40岁以上员工表示曾在职场中遭遇年龄歧视，包括面对刻板印象、遭受欺凌以及隐藏年龄的压力。与此同时，美国退休人员协会 数据显示，22%的50岁以上员工表示曾因年龄原因被迫离开岗位。
在原视频发布一天后，Unobsolete 又更新了近况，新视频再次获得超过230万次观看。她透露，公司召开会议讨论她的“态度”问题。虽然她没有被解雇，但会后她被排除在部分活动之外，工作量减少，日常交互也开始受到审查。会议中还有人提醒她，公司文化可能“不适合”她。
对此，她回应：“我同意。一个剥削经验的企业文化，也不适合我。”
@theunobsolete UPDATE: Refused to train replacement. What happened next I expected. Two days later meeting with manager and HR. My attitude. Not that they passed me over or wanted free labor. My attitude refusing exploitation. They said not collaborative poor leadership need team players. I said you passed me over want free training punish boundaries that’s control not collaboration. Silence. Not willing develop staff maybe not culture fit. I said right. Culture exploiting experience isn’t my fit. Ready for compensation talk? No? Back to my job. Didn’t fire me. Can’t. Lawsuit risk. Instead stopped including meetings gave projects away documented everything performance issues. Managed out playbook. I documented everything back. Every email meeting project. Knew exactly what they were doing. #promotions #isaidno #refused# #over45 #corporatetiktok ♬ original sound - The Unobsolete
