Did Andrew Mason and Groupon discriminate against older workers and minorities

Tony Miselli

Every picture I have seen of Groupon over the weeks and months in trade magazines and newspapers always show an ugly trend for this worlds fastest growing company. There is hardly any people of color working them office phones for this big shot Internet upstart on Chicago Avenue in downtown Chicago. Nothing else exemplifies downtown Chicago companies and the workforce more than this company. Older workers are also likely not welcome from the looks of Groupon's headquarters in Chicago. You saw nothing but white college gradates and the place resembled a fraternity from Alabama. Andrew mason was a joke and couldn't even hold his own company after getting venture capitalists to loan him millions through the years. How did this investment help the city aside from getting more bar owners to open up pubs around the headquarters where many of these yuppies lived. The average citizen didn't benefit anything from the money given to Groupon by those who avoid paying taxes and the breaks given to Groupon by government. There was no diverse workforce at this place on Chicago Avenue. make no mistake about it groupon is a company for and all about yuppies and youth. It is Warner Brothers network with phone sales and computer screens. The thing that kills me with all these tech companies that are the darlings of business media complex and help promote these companies as legitimate is that many of them like Groupon don't provide anything in society. Groupon and the likes are basically for socializing of the white collar workforce where rich people fund other rich people from avoiding work that is mundane, boring, and well work. One day the fun will end at Groupon and other worthless tech companies where workers are inefficient and accomplish little in a day.
