Drimmel v. SettlementOne
The Cabrera Firm and Guillermo Cabrera for Cross-defendant and Respondent.
In this employment discrimination case, an employee was promoted from her position as the operations manager of one portion of her employer's title, escrow and credit information business to vice-president of a new and separate marketing entity her employer established. Following her promotion, a male who was younger than the employee took over her position as operations manager. The new marketing entity did not do well and, according to the employer, the employee did not perform well in her new position. The employee was terminated, and the new entity was discontinued.
The trial court rejected the employee's contention that in losing her position as operations manager the employee was the victim of unlawful discrimination. The trial court found that the employee's promotion to vice-president of the marketing entity was not an adverse employment action and that her later termination from that position was based on the employee's performance as well as financial and economic circumstances. The record fully supports the trial court's finding on these issues. Thus, we affirm the trial court's judgment in favor of the employer.
