24. First, all seven of us being over 40 was a bit of a stretch

to be a coincidence — especially when our "replacements" were all under 25.

Second, some things were said to some employees that indicated age was the reason, such as "Your old ways aren't going to make it here anymore."

Anyway, you don't have to prove discrimination in a lawsuit. You just have to convince a jury that it took place, and a well-selected jury will usually side with workers over management.
