Calder, aged 60, worked as an account executive for TCI Cable, selling advertising time. Calder believed that she had a number of negative experiences at TCI because of her age. She bases this contention on several facts, including several discriminatory comments made by management at TCI. During one of Calder’s individual meetings with an executive, he told her that she should walk faster, comparing her to a younger account executive. Another manager told her that he did not understand why, “at this time in [her] life,” she did not want free time to travel. Another referred to a job applicant as “grandma” and hired a younger candidate. Is this evidence of discrimination sufficient to support a claim? [Calder v. TCI Cablevision of Missouri, Inc., 298 F.3d 723 (8th Cir. 2002).]
