context: The undisputed evidence in this case reveals that neither Arbaney, Lakey, nor Couch was similarly situated to Ramon. Ramon was younger and not as close to being eligible for retirement as were Arbaney and Lakey, and there is no evidence that Continental uncovered any wrongdoing by Couch. These differences between Ramon's situation and that of her comparators justified the differential treatment, and Ramon cannot demonstrate that she was "similarly situated" to them. See Wyvill v. United Cos. Life Ins..
