In Howard v. Walgreen Co., the Eleventh Circuit held that that despite the fact a jury awarded the plaintiff $300,000 in damages, no reasonable jury could find for the plaintiff. I have difficulty understanding how a group of judges who didn’t hear the evidence could decide that the jury that awarded $300,000 to the plaintiff was not reasonable.
The basis of the holding was the Eleventh Circuit’s determination that a voicemail message from a supervisor threatening to fire the employee was not an adverse action.
