But now to the real question. I found out that my now best friend, who’s been working for 7 months now temp, is getting hired by the company. I’m so happy for her, but what about me ?

So I asked him earlier today if I’ll be getting hired on.

His answer was “no, you’re too young. You just got married and will be having kids soon. Will consider it next year, though.”
I was really in disbelief when I heard all that. I know it’s illegal to discriminate someone based on their age.
Is there any action I can take ?
Or should I leave it alone ?
