How courts have described this case

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

• holding that “comments from supervisors betraying bias or animus against older workers” constitute direct evidence of age discrimination
• holding that same actor inference applied when time period of one year separated employer's favorable action and a subsequent adverse action
• holding that the Bradley logic applies equally to cases where plaintiff was not fired, but merely offered a less desirable job assignment
• stating that “evidence establish[ing] the employer’s animus toward the class to which the plaintiff belongs” is relevant to proving causation
• noting that circumstantial evidence of pretext must be \specific and substantial\ to survive a motion for summary judgment
• noting that once the employer presents legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons for the plaintiffs termination, the burden shifts to the plaintiff to establish pretext
