After Young & Rubicam fired him, supposedly due to budget constraints and "professional shortcomings," Kelvin D. Anderson filed suit in New York County Supreme Court alleging age discrimination.
When a jury found in Young & Rubicam's favor, Anderson appealed to the Appellate Division, First Department.
The AD1 thought the record supported the jury's view that Anderson failed to prove he was fired because of his age, particularly since he received a promotion while he was over the age of 50, an older individual was employed by the company, and, two younger employees were compensated at a combined salary that was lower than what Anderson had been paid.
Sounds like the AD1 retired that case.
