How courts have described this case

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

• finding a half a year decline in the average age of the employee group was insufficient to raise an inference of age discrimination
• finding evidence of a younger person assuming job responsibilities of an older displaced worker by itself was not enough to prove the prima facie case
• finding a half a year decline in the average age of the employee group was insufficient to raise an inference of age discrimination
• no inference of age discrimination where employer retained two employees who were older than plaintiff
• “Employment decisions motivated by characteristics other than age such as salary and pension benefits, even when such characteristics correlate with age, do not constitute age discrimination.”
• “[W]e emphasize that employers are free to make their own business decisions, even inefficient ones, so long as they do not discriminate unlawfully.”
