Outcome

The court found in favor of defendant General Electric, dismissing plaintiff's gender discrimination claim. Although plaintiff established a prima facie case under McDonnell Douglas, she failed to prove that GE's legitimate nondiscriminatory reason for termination (poor performance and failure to accept supervisory expectations) was pretextual for gender discrimination.
