Heading: Transfer to Lexington

Text: According to Nationwide, Cleary was transferred to Lexington, in autumn 1996, as a result of a reorganization of Gateway and Lexington that left Gateway with two technical secretaries and Lexington with none. After her request to hire a secretary for Lexington was denied due to a hiring freeze, Betts selected Cleary for transfer there over the other technical secretary, Sandra Gadson, because Gadson had been hired specifically for Gateway, and because Cleary’s home was closer to Lexington than Gadson’s home. Cleary offers no evidence that Nationwide’s explanation is untrue. Moreover, while Cleary asserts that she was encumbered with an inordinate workload at Lexington, she bases this contention solely on her own opinion and fails to show that other employees were not similarly burdened.
