Tommy Morgan was a 20-year employee of New York Life Insurance Company. At age 52, his career at New York Life included a promotion, high marks for job performance, and a good reputation among his colleagues. One co-worker described Morgan as the best managing partner he had seen in 40 years. In September 2005, the company sent out an e-mail announcing a "new generation of managers." Within three weeks of that e-mail, Morgan was fired. He sued New York Life for age discrimination. Does he have any basis for a legitimate claim? Why or why not? [ Morgan v. New York Life Ins. Co., 101 FEP Cases 657 (N.D. Ohio 2007).] Would the situation be different if the employer simply said that Morgan was no longer "compatible" with the company's corporate culture? [Brian Reid v. Google, 155 Cal. App. 4th 1342, 66 Cal. Rptr. 3d 744 (2007).]
