How courts have described this case

  • holding that a hostile- environment claim is actionable under the ADEA as under Title VII because the statutes share similar language
  • holding that the employer’s statements that “old people should be seen and not heard” and “I don’t think women over 55 should be working” were not particularly severe or degrading
  • 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”
