Description
Appellant Thomas Wallace was fifty-three years old when he was terminated from O.C. Tanner Company (""Tanner"") after twenty years of employment and repeated recognition as one of the company's top sales managers. He disputes the company's claim that he was spending excessive time on a personal project that he had concealed from Tanner officials, and claims that age discrimination led the company to replace him with his thirty-six-year-old subordinate. The district court granted summary judgment for appellee Tanner, finding that Wallace failed to allege sufficient evidence of age-based animus. We affirm. I. Background O.C. Tanner Company, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, assists companies in developing programs to recognize and reward their employees. Its services include providing custom gifts or jewelry for service anniversaries. Tanner hired appellant in 1975 to help develop a market in the Northeast. He began as a salesperson in the Boston area, advanced to Regional Sales Manager as the supervisor of several other employees, and achieved a record of superior performance in generating new business. His region ranked in the top ten for sales for twelve of the last fifteen years of his employment, and among other recognitions, he shared the ""Most Impressive Customer Commitment Award"" with another regional manager in 1992.
