There are SEVERAL claims in this lawsuit (not just the one you listed). Duh. Google the lawsuit to read them. Oh..I'm sorry. Doing actual research might be too hard for you. Especially for something that doesn't affect you.

And...I'm uninformed? Again, showing your ignorance. I personally know a few of the ladies that filed the lawsuit. They are smart, driven AND ethical.

Oh...and they'll win. So, any boo-hoo-ing about injustice on this board is a waste of time.

Anytime you'd like to provide an example of an injustice, please feel free to post it. I have read the lawsuit and i'll be happy to poke holes through it.

Since you know some of the ladies, maybe you can explain why being asked to pay back extra money paid while on maternity leave is grounds for a $100 lawsuit? Did you ever hear of a bank making an incorrect deposit? Does the bank get sued for that?

Get a clue

RD here. Do you know how many times you have repeated yourself guy? It's getting a little redundant don't you think? I agree with the above poster. I think you need to get a life and perhaps move on to your next victim. Call the HR hotline if you need to talk to someone. It's 100% confidential. Good luck.

Thank you for responding RD! I have a question for you:

Should someone be able to sue the company for $100 million because you did not say hi to them at a meeting? Please explain why or why not

I can't wait to hear your answer
 


















I saw that there was a lawsuit filed in the nationally reported case of a man being choked to death while being put under arrest in NYC. The family filed for:

Unlawful arrest
Use of excessive force
causing the death of their loved one

Estimate of damages? 75 million dollars


Now consider:

Being forced to pay back money accidentally overpaid while on maternity leave
Deciding a salary is too low years after accepting salary offered
Having to walk by a smokey casino floor to get to sales meeting
A regional director did not say hi to rep at a meeting
Being denied a territory transfer that would be an easier commute
Saying "maternity leave" at a photo op, where many participants where dealing with mater its leave

Estimate of damages? 100 million dollars


Disgusting
 






Have you ever heard of something called "The Equal Pay Act"? If not, here's what it is and part of the lawsuit is based on this:

"No employer having employees subject to any provisions of this section [section 206 of title 29 of the United States Code] shall discriminate, within any establishment in which such employees are employed, between employees on the basis of sex by paying wages to employees in such establishment at a rate less than the rate at which he pays wages to employees of the opposite sex in such establishment for equal work on jobs[,] the performance of which requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and which are performed under similar working conditions, except where such payment is made pursuant to (i) a seniority system; (ii) a merit system; (iii) a system which measures earnings by quantity or quality of production; or (iv) a differential based on any other factor other than sex"
 






I see people in 2009 getting paid $68k with 3 years experience. That sounds pretty fair to me. I like the beginning of this thread where a gal claims she definitely know she was paid less because she went around training and asked all the guys.

Here's a clue......if a gal comes up to a guy and asks "so, how much do you make?" Chances are they are going to add an extra 5-10K to make themselves sound better. Duh.


Real scientific study there sweetie

This poster is an imbecile.

Not engaging in ignorance is wisdom. The plaintiffs will win and rightfully so.

And yet you can't come back with any defense of your positions? i say it is not discrimination if a company asks for money back that they accidentally overpaid a employee on maternity leave?

Please explain to me how it is

Crickets crickets

You were offered a salary when you interviewed for a position. You had the choice to accept it or decline it. If they offered $20k, I bet you would have declined. $30k? Declined again. Say the offer was $65k.....that sounds fair and you accept it.

Now three years later you decide it isn't enough so you sue?

Does that sound fair? Or does that sound like a losers way out?

If only the thread can answer the age-old question of "how does a Regional Director not saying Hi at a meeting wind up as a $100 million dollar offense?"

Please offer a rational defense without childlike insults and maybe I'll stop trying to defend honest truth.
 












Hyptothetically speaking....if the company's records show that men are consistently offered more money and paid higher salaries than equally qualified/experienced women how is that not a violation of the equal pay act? You may accept $65,000 assuming it's fair when in actuality it's not if men are offered more for the same job.

It's a one of out two shot....why not sue for $100 mil?

How can you be so positive that you are being paid less when you can't even tell when you're getting paid too much while on maternity leave?

Maybe if you pay more attention to your own salaries instead of others....you'd be in a much better place :)
