USA TODAY
— Lawsuit claims Yahoo ousted male employees – Jon Swartz  (DIERSEN: In 1989, GAO instituted its pay-for-performance system to get rid of its employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2016/10/07/lawsuit-claims-yahoo-ousted-male-employees/91724590/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  A second man has filed a lawsuit alleging Marissa Mayer and other top Yahoo female executives discriminated in favor of women in their hiring, firing and promotions in the company’s editorial division. Scott Ard, who worked for more than three years at Yahoo until early 2015, says he and others were terminated to “accommodate management’s subjective biases and personal opinions, to the detriment of Yahoo’s male employees,”  according to a lawsuit filed in federal court in San Jose, Calif., this week. The suit alleges the performance-rating system, fostered by Mayer, resulted in a rapid succession of individual layoffs, which violates the U.S. and California Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) acts that require advance notification of mass layoffs.)
