DeLormer is sales manager for Fast Freddy’s Auto Sales, a local car dealer selling Kia, Hyundai, and Subaru cars. Fred Fischer, the owner of Fast Freddy’s, decides to reorganize his workforce due to slumping auto sales. Fischer tells DeLormer, who is sixty, that his job will be eliminated and the position’s duties will be consolidated with those of the service manager position. Fischer also tells DeLormer that the new position will be filled by Gaines, the current service manager, who is forty-two. DeLormer feels that he is being terminated because of his age. Can DeLormer establish a prima facie case of age discrimination based on these facts? Explain.
