The pharmaceutical e-commerce business "e-DRUG" was doing great until Amazon expanded into drugs, and now the business is losing revenue and can't support the administrative overhead that it employs.Two high-level executive employees are notified that they will be discharged from the company in a downsizing.

The executives are Adam and Brenda. Adam is a 50-year old male and while he doesn't like the idea that he is being fired, he at least has the comfort of knowing that he will have a $50,000 annual pension from the company that will begin immediately. Brenda is a 41-year old female executive who is not nearly as serene about the situation. She has not been with the organization long enough to get a pension, and will instead receive $100,000 lump sum severance pay.

Brenda and Adam file complaints against the employer for firing them, but not discharging similarly-situated executives who are under 40 years old.Which of the following is most accurate?
