United States Seventh Circuit

Because plaintiff presented sufficient evidence of retaliation, summary judgment for defendant is vacated. The extremely short lapse of time between plaintiff's complaints and the negative reviews from his supervisor, the baseless attendance violations, evidence that he was being held to unrealistic standards, and his previous five-year flawless employment record raise the inference of causation.
