ACME's executive leadership has come to Mary with a request to hire 10 new employees for Research & Development, with the condition that she discharge two employees – Bill and Susie. The 10 new employees need to have at least a Bachelor's degree in the field and have at least three years of Research & Development experience. The executive leadership sees the newer generation as the real "go-getters" and so instruct you to only hire from Generation Y.

Bill, an employee for 10 years, is a 43-year old white male with a Bachelor's degree in the field. Bill began with the company when he was 33 and has worked his way up to a Tier 2 production manager who oversees seven employees; his annual salary is $60,000. Bill has not incurred any complaints from those he supervises and his performance evaluations for the last 10 years have been in the range of 3.7 to 4.2 (out of 5.0).

Susie began with the company one year ago. She is a 35-year old Native American female with a Master's degree in the field.
