Did the employer not bring up the fact that Lanahan never reported the manager misconduct? (assume this to be true since it is not brought up) Her claim claim of "gender and age" appears weak in the text above.  You didn't mention that there were other similarly situated individuals.

This appears to be more of a harassment and retaliation claim than an age/gender issue.  Would the employer have an opportunity for an affirmative defense if Lanahan did not use the reporting avenues available (assuming she was trained on them)?<br/><br/>
