Analyze the scenario clues

Using the Workplace Diversity knowledge point

• Glenda refers to Steve as having "significant life experience," which is a common euphemism or indicator of an older individual.
• She questions why he was hired for a "role in technology," expressing that it "doesn't make any sense."
• This reflects a common stereotype that older individuals are not proficient with or suited for modern technology.

Evaluate the options

• Sexual orientation: There is no mention or implication of sexual orientation in the text.
• Age: The reference to "significant life experience" combined with the assumption of technological incompetence directly points to age-based stereotyping.
• Disabilities: There is no mention of physical or mental disabilities.
• Immigrant workers: There is no mention of nationality, citizenship, or immigration status.

Answer:

• (A) Sexual orientation
• (B) Age (Correct answer)
• (C) Disabilities
• (D) Immigrant workers
