How courts have described this case

• holding that single comment suggesting plaintiff retire in light of reduction in force, “standing by itself, does not create an inference of age-based discrimination”
• holding that direct evidence must relate to the specific employment decision in question
• holding, in case involving fifty-two old employee terminated as part of a reduction in force, that “the employer’s ‘suggestion of retirement would not alone give rise to an inference of discrimination’” sufficient to constitute direct evidence of discrimination
• affirming entry of summary judgment against ADEA plaintiff who \ha[d] not offered any evidence to show that the other analysts who were retained were 'similarly situated' to him\
• an eight-year age gap is not significant enough in the Seventh Circuit to create a reasonable inference of age discrimination
• employer’s “suggestion of retirement would not alone give rise to an inference of discrimination”
