No. An employer act is never discrimination unless there is a tangible employment action - the victim gets fired, demoted, suspended, pay cut, unwelcome transfer.
Giving someone else training is not tangible harm. No violation possible.

That depends. Feeling harassed or discriminated against due to age is subjective and varies by individual. The best an employer can due is ask the question under reasonable circumstances, which would be a defense against a discrimination complaint.

It is a company that has put in it's policy and procedures employee manual a line that reads: "Either the employee or employer may terminate the employee-employee relationship at any time and/or for any reason."

The employee will simply resign without giving notice. Many courts will uphold this policy as long as there was no discrimination of any sort involved. T. Recio Consulting
