J.A. Beaver v. Rayonier, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that the plaintiff's evidence of profitability of the company as a whole, as opposed to profitability of the mill impacted by the RIF, was irrelevant to the issue of whether economic conditions at the mill led to the RIF
• declining to consider whether guidelines were written down because what matters is whether the employer considered an impermissible factor in making its decision
• rejecting the plaintiff's argument that the company's hiring of additional employees at the time of the RIF showed that the RIF was pretextual, because the plaintiff did not produce evidence that the additional employees' positions were similarly situated to those eliminated in the RIF
