Beginning in 1986, Paul Rangel was a sales professional for the pharmaceutical company Sanofi Aventis U.S. LLC (S-A). Rangel had satisfactory performance reviews until 2006, when S-A issued new "Expectations" guidelines with sales call quotas and other standards that he failed to meet. After two years of negative performance reviews, Rangel—who was then more than forty years old—was terminated as part of a nationwide reduction in force of all sales professionals who had not met the "Expectations" guidelines, including younger workers. Did S-A engage in age discrimination?

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is a "Select: federal/state law.

Discrimination based on age may occur at what age and beyond?

"Select: 40/50/60/65"

How many years did Rangel work for Sanofi Aventis before he was terminated?

"Select: 20/22/24/26'

Elements of a prima facie case for discrimination include:

1. Can Rangel show he was in a protected group?

"Select: Yes/No

Why? He was over "Select: 40/50/60/65" 5 years of age.

2. Can Rangel show he was qualified for the position from which he was discharged?

"Select: Yes/No"

How? He worked in that job for over "Select?: 10/20/30" 7 years.

3. Was Rangel discharged because of age discrimination?

"Select: Yes/No

In order to prove age discrimination Rangel must prove that "Selec: this termination was motivated at least in part by age discrimination/his termination was motivated entirely by his age"

Was there a reason given by the employer to terminate Rangel?

"Select: Yes/No"

What was the reason?

"Select: He was getting slow/The company was reducing its force/He failed to meet the new "expectations" guidelines"

Regardless of the facts in this case, is this reason an example of a possible pretext, or excuse, in order to terminate someone because he was just too old?

"Select: Yes/No"

What facts show that Rangel's termination was not based on age?

1. "Select:Rangel had satisfactory performance reviews for 20 years/Rangel failed to meet the new "expectation" guidelines/the "expectations" guidelines unfairly affected older workers/the reduction of force was an annual occurrence/Rangel was ready to retire"

  2. "Select:Rangel had satisfactory performance reviews for 20 years/there was a reduction of forcethe "expectations" guidelines unfairly affected older workersthe reduction of force was an annual occurrence/Rangel was ready to retire"

3. "Select: Rangel had satisfactory performance reviews for 20 years/ the "expectations" guidelines unfairly affected older workersother workers under 40 years of age were also terminated/the reduction of force was an annual occurrence/Rangel was ready to retiree"

Would a court likely find Rangel was terminated based solely on age?

"Select: Yes/No"
