How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- concluding the same is true in sex discrimination under Title VII where the plaintiff and alleged discriminator are,different sexes
- noting that Title VII does not ensure against inaccuracy by an employer, only gender-based discrimination
- affirming grant of summary judgment on disparate treatment claim where there was no reason to believe reason for termination was pretextual
- rejecting differential treatment argument in part because contrary to plaintiff, purported comparators did not benefit personally from irregularities leading to plaintiffs termination
- “mere fact that decisionmakers were male does not alone, absent other evidence, create an inference that they engaged in gender discrimination”
- departures from normal company procedure, a number of which appeared to work to plaintiffs benefit such as falsifying records to earn higher commissions, acknowledged as valid, nondiscriminatory reasons for termination
