Text: With regard to Burkett, Unocal asserts that it gave him the redeployment package because of a good faith mistaken belief that he desired the redeployment package rather than reassignment to another job. Burkett testified that, after a meeting about the 39 RIF and before his redeployment, he told Van Deventer that he would accept any job. He further testified that right after he got his redeployment package, he met with Dupriest and said that he would take any available job. The jury was entitled to believe Burkett’s testimony and to infer that Unocal’s decisionmakers were on notice that Burkett wanted to keep working. We affirm the district court’s judgment in favor of Burkett on his ADEA claim.
