Woman Shares The Best Reply To Give To Anyone Who Asks For Their Age As The "Youngest In The Workplace"

In many cultures, asking someone their age is one of the more delicate social subjects. In some nations, it is even against the law to inquire about a candidate's age during an employment interview.

Ageism is becoming more pervasive in many cultures today, so you should always be extremely cautious when bringing it up. If you have good reason to inquire about someone's age, be sure to explain why and ensure they feel comfortable doing so.

Be considerate in your word choice, tone of voice, and body language to avoid offending anyone by asking them their age. Have you ever heard the phrase, "Age is just a number?"

Yes, for many individuals, age is just a number, and they don't mind if someone asks or knows their age. On the other hand, some individuals believe that it is irrelevant how old someone is.

You must therefore be extremely cautious and prudent when requesting someone's age. If you work in corporate America, you can be sure that anyone who asks you a question is trying to size you up.

For the majority of individuals, you are just a rung on a ladder. That is the truth, even though it's not a pleasant one.

One TikToker named @corporatebestie tries her hardest to support you in the workplace while also adding a little comedy.

Just like a non-terrifying universal HR woman, this TikToker is here to give you the best reply for age seekers

@corporatebestie

The TikToker explains what to do if you're the youngest person in the workplace and someone asks you how old you are in her most recent viral TikTok. She continues by claiming that no one is asking you that question "out of genuine concern or interest."

Our friendly HR lady has this to say:

"After a lot of trial and error, I found that the best response to just get through the situation, address and reassert my confidence, and move on was this: 'I’m old enough to be here. Now let’s talk…'"

What do you say when someone at work inquires about your age? Normally, I suppose I would just tell them or give them a number in my age range, but after reading this, I've come to the conclusion that I should also be playing 4D chess. 

What are your thoughts about this post? Are you adopting the idea as well?
