Inc
A founder's hiring post specifying a maximum age of 26 sparked controversy and potential legal issues due to age discrimination laws.

Summary

Drew Levin, founder of SideShift App, posted on X (formerly Twitter) seeking engineers “under 26” to hire in New York City. The post quickly garnered 3.1 million views but also drew criticism for potentially violating federal age discrimination laws. Many users pointed out that the requirement to be under 26 constitutes illegal discrimination against individuals over 40, as protected by U.S. law. Levin was contacted by Inc.
