Our client, a 61-year-old senior employee for The Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District, was terminated from his job after 40 years of service for what he alleged was the application of a policy that had never before been enforced – using the company car for a personal errand. Prior to a new supervisor taking over in 2000, our client had always had good performance reviews and been in good standing. However, the new supervisor began a course of conduct designed to force him to retire, which included verbal pressure, and several groundless accusations of misconduct. We developed evidence that the employer’s stated reason for termination was a pretext, and that the true reason was age discrimination.
