Downgrading Perf Appraisals for Discriminatory Reasons

  • 1.  Downgrading Perf Appraisals for Discriminatory Reasons

    Hi all,
     
    Apologies for the cross-postings.
     
    I was recently talking about the practice of deliberately downdrading appraisals to create a paper trail before terminating an employee (c.f., Longnecker, et al).  Someone asked if I knew of specific orgs that have done this to get rid of individuals in a protected group.  Can anyone direct me to some examples of this?
     
    Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!
