Sometimes an employer just reaches a breaking point with an employee and the combination of marginal performance, disruptive behavior and being an overall strain on resources leads to termination. A striking example of this explanation as a legitimate basis to end an individual’s employment is the recent case of DiFrancesco v. A-G Administrators, No. 13-4284, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 124263 (E.D. Pa. Sept. 4, 2014) (Quinones Alejandro, J.).
Maria DiFrancesco was hired as a senior staff accountant by A-G Administrators Inc., a third-party insurer, in December 2009. Although she was 55 at the time of her hiring, she did not believe that anyone at the company knew her age.
