Judge CASEBOLT.
In this wrongful termination of employment suit, defendant, Browning-Ferris Industries of Colorado, Inc. (BFI), appeals the judgment entered upon a jury verdict awarding damages to plaintiff, Thomas H. Decker. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
Decker was employed by BFI, beginning in 1985, first as a crew member and then as a trash track driver in its Aspen, Colorado, location. In early 1991, a new general manager for that location was installed. In August of 1991, the new general manager for BFI fired Decker, allegedly for working too slowly.
