He was told he wasn't qualified - before the job was even posted
A 58-year-old Molson Coors director alleges the company eliminated his role and blocked him from the job that replaced it.
The worker, a supply-chain logistics executive based at Molson Coors' Milwaukee office, filed a federal lawsuit on October 8, 2026, accusing the beverage giant of age discrimination, sex discrimination, and retaliation. The complaint was filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
According to the filing, the worker joined Molson Coors in April 2020 as a senior manager in its supply-chain function and was promoted to Director of Distribution Strategy and Optimization by April 2022. His work covered distribution strategy, import and export logistics, third-party warehouse management, and non-alcoholic route-to-market planning - a growing focus for a company expanding beyond beer.
His track record, as described in the complaint, included favorable performance ratings from 2020 through 2022 and a "Partner of the Year" award based on peer nominations. His supervisor allegedly praised his financial and operational results as recently as the January 2025 year-end review.
That same review, the complaint alleges, gave him a "Developing" rating - for the second year running - based on what the filing calls "unspecified subjective perceptions of working style."
Then came February 17, 2025.
