Facebook sued for gender discrimination
Fast Company: Former Facebook Inc. employee Chia Hong is taking the social network to court for alleged gender discrimination, racial discrimination and sexual harassment, in a lawsuit filed last week. The complaint states that Hong’s boss, Anil Wilson, engaged in “a pattern and practice of harassment,” including (but not limited to) ignoring her opinions when she was the only female in meetings, ordering her to organize parties and serve drinks where no male co-workers were asked to, telling her she wasn’t integrated with the team because she “looks different and acts different,” and “asking plaintiff why she did not just stay home and take care of her child instead of having a career.”
