Thread regarding L-3 Communications Holdings Inc. layoffs

If you have plenty of cash reserves, you could try suing if you were in that first group. Corp will argue they made a decision based on salary ranges, i.e. they can pay younger guys less to do more or equal to what you make, and they would probably win or pull all the dirt out or fabricate some to win in court. I'd just hedge your bets and move on. Plus, Utah is an "at will" employment state so there is another negative, they don't have to give you a reason for you losing your job. Unless you have written evidence suggesting they didn't want you for your age, your up against a pretty one-sided battle in Corporates favor.
