across the United States, maintaining golf carts. After a steady stream of positive job
evaluations and merit pay raises, Ozzie is promoted to the position of supervisor of
golf-cart maintenance at three of Players’s courses. Five years later, a new employee,
Quentin, is hired to oversee operations at all ten of Players’s courses. Quentin demotes
Ozzie, who is now over the age of forty, to running only one of the three cart facilities,
and freezes his salary. Quentin demotes five other employees over the age of forty and
places one of Ozzie’s former facilities under the supervision of Richie, who is
twenty-three. Ozzie overhears Richie say, “We”re going to have to do away with these
old, senile men.” Less than a year later, Quentin reconsolidates the three cart facilities’
operations under Richie’s charge. Ozzie quits and files a suit against Players for
employment discrimination. Should he prevail? Explain.
