          as ineligible for rehire because she “would not follow                      
          instructions and caused many disruptions in the work area”.  As a           
          money transfer clerk at Regions, petitioner was reviewed                    
          frequently.  In her first review, the supervisors listed                    
          petitioner’s work as unsatisfactory, noting that she often                  
          “bickered” with her coworkers, was not always dependable, and did           
          not seem to grasp the job.  It was particularly noted that                  
          petitioner made multiple wire transfer errors that, had they not            
          been detected by a supervisor, would have caused Regions to lose            
          several million dollars.  A subsequent review, in January 1997,             
          showed petitioner dealt well with customers but further stated              
          she still needed to improve.  The review also noted that                    
          petitioner made many errors that caused extra work for other                
          employees.                                                                  
               Sometime in early 1997, petitioner was transferred to                  
          another department as a utility clerk.  Petitioner considered               
          this a demotion even though she received a slight pay increase.3            
          Petitioner received one negative review shortly after that                  
          transfer, which noted she was still unreliable.  After that,                
          however, petitioner received satisfactory reviews and continued             
          to get periodic pay increases.                                              



               3Petitioner testified at trial that she never received pay             
          raises from Regions; however, she admitted during a deposition in           
          the title VII lawsuit that she had received numerous pay raises.
