When the facts are examined, it is quite apparent that Gus Tavus was treated in a disparate way due to his age. Not least of these is the simple fact that the company’s Vice President of regional claims knew nothing of the job application process and was quoted as saying he was “shocked beyond belief” that Gus had not received the promotion.
