It's more than a feeling, toots.

I thought they were joking, but, much to my dismay, they weren't. There's ample evidence that I and others who were laid off last year were victims of age discrimination. The company shuffled old farts and youngsters around in one department to make it look like they weren't targeting the geezers. The smoking gun: as a condition of accepting the severence package, we had to sign an agreement not to file an age discrimination grievance. Now why in the fuck would you worry about someone accusing you of something they hadn't thought of accusing you of unless you had a guilty conscience?
