Have you ever wondered how age discrimination can stealthily undermine a stellar career? Join Mark Carey as he unpacks the gripping story of Lisa Stashak, a 58-year-old sales executive who generated an astounding $186 million for Freesia, Inc. while navigating the murky waters of remote work from Maryland. After a corporate restructuring in 2018, Lisa found herself at the center of an alleged ageist culture that systematically targeted employees over 40. As the only high-performing exception, she became the unwitting victim of age discrimination, facing pay cuts, demotions, and a toxic work environment dominated by younger supervisors. This episode dives deep into the legal intricacies of constructive discharge and age discrimination, revealing how Lisa's role was diminished despite her extraordinary contributions. 

As remote work becomes the norm, we also explore the implications for employee rights and the vulnerabilities that remote workers face under current labor laws. Lisa's state claims were dismissed due to her remote work status, raising critical questions about the protection of employee rights in an increasingly digital workplace. What does this mean for you?
