• holding that disregard of internal hiring policies does not conclusively establish discrimination
• finding no pretext where employer departed from original \layoff policy\ in favor of a new one
• replacing seniority policy to reduce workforce and promote efficiency did not create an inference of age discrimination without “clear nexus to discrimination”
• finding statistical evidence to be insufficient when plaintiff submitted a list of terminated employees “without explanation or evidence . . . that they are in substantially the same position as [plaintiff].”
• rejecting statistical evidence in age discrimination case in which expert had no explanation for his “arbitrary” choice of age groups for review and did “not even purport to analyze the facts” concerning individual plaintiffs
• discussing a reduction-in-force as a “legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for discharge”
