Saying "OK Boomer" Could Get You Fired from Your Job

2019 will be remembered as the year of 'OK Boomer'. But be careful - using that catchphrase at work could get you fired.

HR experts say dismissing someone with 'OK Boomer' could potentially be construed as age discrimination, which violates the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
