- noting that “[t]he elements and burden of proof are the same, regardless of the discrimination context in which the claim arises.”
- holding two remarks about “women over 55 working” and “old people” by supervisor were offensive utterances insufficient to constitute a pervasive environment based on age as opposed to “a simple clash of personalities”
