A woman I know of, in her early 50s, with an MBA, was asked about her undergraduate GPA, and if I recall correctly her SATs when applying for a job a couple of years ago. This made me wonder about the common sense of the employer; her too, maybe, for she is not working for them.
Stealth ageism. There's a local printing company near where I live famous for being the only large employer in the area demanding high school transcripts LOL. Legal or not, its a signal of old people need not apply.
I'm old enough, and grade inflation has been going on long enough, that my "pretty good" HS GPA at the time makes me look like I merely showed up for attendance compared to the recent grads. Now if they wanted a percentile instead of a GPA, then I'd have an excellent chance. But they very intentionally want a younger workforce by whatever borderline legal method necessary, so they ask for GPA...
