Through this paper we are going to analyze how a gender discrimination case is proved in the workplace. According to the Law offices of David H. Greenberg, “proving discrimination in the workplace is more or less the same weather the discrimination is on the basis of age, race, sex, national origin, or anything else that is illegal” (para. 1). Step one is the employee’s position. Here we have a young lady in her early thirties, who is a Assistant Property Manager for HP Properties in West Virginia. She applied for an open Property Manager position within the company. Obviously a step up from Assistant Property Manager. However, the position was awarded to a gentlemen who had been with the company less time then her and had also not met one of the job requirements. As a Property Manager, you must have your Real Property Administrator certificate (RPA), which he did not have. Although she did meet that requirement by just receiving her designation, she was not awarded the position. She immediately contacted a lawyer because she felt discriminated against. Workplace discrimination is wrong and illegal for these reasons: “God did not intend for people to exercise undue control over other people and (2) the law recognizes that it is important that employers should not conduct themselves as though they possess undue control over other people” (Walker, para 3).
