WHEN WILL HE RETIRE?
 
 
A 51 year old manager sued alleging that his 33 year old supervisor unfairly disciplined him because of his age. The Court found that the manager must show "evidence that age played a motivating part in the defendant's employment action." Examples of remarks that showed a discriminatory attitude included referring to a co-worker as old, asking when a co-worker will retire, and noting that "these stories happened before I was born."
