Hereford Concrete Products, Inc. ("Hereford") employed John Keeney from September 1970 through April 1990. During the latter part of his employment, he served as an officer on the board of directors of Hereford and held a managerial position with an annual salary of approximately $40,000. In 1988, Stephen Hereford and Glenn McNett purchased the company from Stephen's brother, Jim Hereford. The new owners recast the board, eliminating Keeney from its membership. They also reviewed the finances of the company and determined they could not continue to employee both Keeney and Clarence Baker, another managerial employee. Stephen Hereford testified that he chose to terminate Keeney first because Baker had more seniority and possessed a greater variety of skills.
