Jury dismisses Age Discrimination case
A jury did not view an age discrimination lawsuit as thus, after it sided with a county in California. A former top manager in the Department of Social Service had claimed he lost his job for age discrimination — he turned 50 in 2004 — and said the county was retaliating because he had complained about alleged fiscal mismanagement.
Despite the fact that Daniel Gardner, the manager had in his six years tenure received “positive reviews, accolades and merit incentives.”, the jury found more credibility in the county’s argument that the layoff was primarily economic and policy-based, since the department had faced a $3 million shortfall.
