Age Discrimination
Wallace Corporation was looking to hire a senior Administrative Assistant. After HR reviewed the applications of the various candidates, two were selected for personal interviews with the hiring manager. When the manager interviewed Sue Phillips, aged 51, he asked her questions about how comfortable she was using computers, using various software programs, and finding information on the internet. He made a note on Sue's application that she "seemed old and inflexible". The manager next interviewed Cindy Lou Lee, aged 31, but simply questioned her about her previous work experience. The manager decided to hire Cindy Lou for the position. Does Sue Phillips have a claim under the ADEA? Why or why not?
