As the Ellen Pao sex discrimination trial continues to captivate Silicon Valley, the law firm representing Ms. Pao has filed a bias case on behalf of another woman against an even bigger target: Facebook.
Chia Hong, who worked for Facebook from 2010 to 2013, said that she faced discrimination, harassment and retaliation — and was eventually fired — because she is a woman and of Taiwanese descent, according to a lawsuit filed in state court in San Mateo County, where the company is based.
In response to Ms. Hong's suit, Facebook said in a statement: "We work extremely hard on issues related to diversity, gender and equality, and we believe we've made progress."
就在鮑康如(Ellen Pao)性別歧視案持續(xù)在硅谷引發(fā)熱議的同時,代表她的律師事務所又為另一名女性提交了歧視訴訟狀,這次針對的公司規(guī)模更大:Facebook。
在Facebook總部所在地圣馬特奧市的州法院提交的一份訴訟資料顯示,洪嘉(音譯)2010年至2013年供職于Facebook,她說由于自己是女性,而且有臺灣血統(tǒng),在該公司受到歧視、騷擾和報復,并最終遭到解雇。
對于洪嘉的訴訟,F(xiàn)acebook發(fā)表聲明說:“我們在多元化、性別和平等問題上付出了極大的努力,我們相信已經(jīng)在這些方面取得了進展。”
