“In Pullom , the court specifically noted the plaintiff failed to present any evidence or make any argument in her briefing that she performed satisfactorily prior to being laid off. In contrast, Ms. Hedum hotly disputes Starbucks's contention regarding her job performance, and correctly points out that she received an overall "meets expectations" rating on her performance reviews. In Culver, the plaintiff was fired from his position as a telephone network technician after falsifying a timesheet while on a written warning of dismissal. The plaintiff's primary argument was that he had not been the one to actually fill out his timesheet, and there was therefore nothing unsatisfactory about his performance. The court found this argument specious because the plaintiff had been the one to give the scrivener the false information about his hours. In addition, the defendant had explicitly warned the plaintiff his job was in serious jeopardy and that any violations during the next twenty-four months could lead to dismissal. In contrast, Ms. Hedum received only two corrective action notices for tardiness during her first eleven months at the Hillsboro Landing store, and the events surrounding her final days are, in Starbucks’s own words, “hotly disputed.””
