What other Discovery Materials should be sought and potentially made public relating to Shujat Khan v. General Motors and Tuan Le v. General Motors?
For example, data regarding new employee hiring by age and position may clearly present a preference towards younger workers, consistent with GM’s internal non-disclosed practices of rejecting candidates by age.
Additionally, collecting the data from Workday for notes made on job applicant’s profiles may also help provide context into GM’s current rank-and-yank methodology.
Removing the excuses from GM by forcing them to turn over data regarding hiring and firing of new and existing employees, as well as disclosing the specific measurable criteria for how GM ranks employees may prove beneficial, if made public from court filings.
Additional discovery materials may be requested, which could remove the curtain behind GM’s practices and may also lead to publicly outing the GM party responsible for implementing and executing age discrimination. It’s worth a try.
