Since 100% of the candidates not-selected were over 40, and 100% of the candidates selected were under 40, the evidence shows that while age may not have been the sole favor, it was likely a motivating factor in the decision.

WDE Rebuttal

Dear Mr. Lincoln:

As General Counsel for WDE Insurance, I am writing you regarding the allegations put forward by your client, Mr. Ron Whyme. According to your brief, Mr. Whyme believes he was discriminated against on the basis of age for new positions created when WDE organized.

I have personally interviewed the three hiring managers for this position, and found that the specific intent of the new position was to align with previous Corporate Claims Specialists. While Mr. Whyme was a Regional Center Manager, it was felt that he lacked the necessary expertise in the new technological systems as well as direct hands-on experience that the new position would entail.
In fact, his position was eliminated corporate wide based on a fiscal and quantitative review so that WDE could more easily move forward with its reorganization.

The individuals selected for the new position all have hands-on experience with our new computer system, have received several weeks of training on the systems, and are able to immediately enter the new areas without any training requirements. In order for WDE to remain competitive within the ever tightening marketplace, we believe this decision would have the most appropriate fiscal outcome. At no time was there any discussion of the age of any of the new candidates, indeed, it was not only not a part of the decision-making process, it was never even discussed.

Thank you in advance for your time. Again, while we empathize with Mr. Whyme, we can assure you age was never a factor in any decision made by WDE......
