I was hired by Google in 2007 at the ripe old age of 43. I worked there for 8 years and there were lots of people who were my age or older and we were never treated with anything but respect by everyone at the company. I think this is simply sour grapes by some people who couldn't make the cut.

So as soon as you turned 51, they just got rid of you.

Yeah, requiring graduation dates so they can know an applicant's age, and telling the applicant that's the reason, is pretty blatant. Unsurprising though.
