IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO 

Civil Action No. 91~6-1341 

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION, 

Petitioner, 

'II. 

CITICORP DINERS CLUB, INC., 

Responaent. 

APFIOAVIT OF PATRICIA CIORDAJIO 

State of Colorado 

County of Arapahoe 

) 

) 

) 

as. 

Patricia Giordano, bein9 of lawful age and duly 

sworn, states as follows: 

l. I am employed in Diners Club"s Englewood, Colorado facility as the Human Resources Director. This 

Affidavit is based upon information and belief and the business 

records of Diners Club. 

2. Diners Club has currently 17 facilities in the 

United States. No one in the Englewood facility has any 

authority to promote any employee in any other Diners Club 

facility who is outside their direct &upervisory responsibility. 

3. At all times pertinent to Ms. Brown's charge, Diners Club has operated under a job opportunity policy which 

provides, in pertinent part, •The job opportunity policy 

permits staff to apply for positions which fit their skills and 

experience. All positions up to level U will be posted unless 

the senior manager of the functional area and the senior 

manager of Human Resources determine that staff who have the 

skills require~ for the position are not avail~ble within the 

company, the employment of a qualified external candidate is 

appropriate, or the position can be filled IDQ$t u,prg~riately

actually worked in each work group over the time period if such 

individuals are still employed. By way of further 

complication, during the time period in question, the Englewood facility employed on average 1,100 people. This workforce is 

extremely dynamic: approximately 170 employees turned over 

each year totallinq 847 staff changes from 1984 to 1988, not 

includinq promotions and transfers); and, only about 18.S\ of 

the maneqers who were in place in 1983 are still with the 

company. The Diners Club business has been functionally 

reorganized approximately eioht times since 1983, resulting in 

major changes in reporting structures, departmental composition 

and even location. Therefore, even those managers who are 

still employed will be unable to provide the breadth of 

information you have requested, and their memories for events 

occurring eight years ago will result in speculation at best.• 

9. Diners Club believes that the examination of 

over two thousand files and the effort to compile what ~ould 

admittedly be an incomplete response to the items requested in 

the subpoena would require two full-time employees working 

approximately siz months each. Even after that expenditure of 

effort, the responses would be incomplete since records which 

would enable a complete and accurate response do not exist. 

10. Prior to Diners Club havin; any knowledge of 

the filing of the EEOC's Petition for an Order Enforcing Administrative Subpoena, Diners Club and Ms . Brown had reached 

agreement in principle concerning the settlement of her 

charge. 

ll. Ms. Brown was employed at an officer level. 

Her position was a grade level R with a 1988 salary range of 

$22,700 to $41,900.
