According to a report by an outside law firm, Monaghan was approached on Sept. 17, 2024 by Sheriff Corpus' right-hand-man, Victor Aenlle, who wanted to know if Monaghan had been interviewed by retired judge LaDoris Cordell, who was investigating the sheriff's office. When Monaghan confirmed he was interviewed, Aenlle asked, "When were you going to tell us this?" Two days later, Corpus fired Monaghan.
The former chief engineer of Lucid Motors, Eric Bach, has sued the company for wrongful termination, discrimination, and retaliation, and claims one of the automaker's top HR executives referred to him as a "German Nazi." The federal lawsuit, filed Monday in the Northern District of California, claims Bach was stripped of his responsibilities overseeing the powertrain division in early 2025 as a result of an HR investigation into the company's workplace culture.
But (aside from vindication for Ms. Comey), I always conceived it in terms of the specific disclosures it might bring. Because she claims she was fired because of Trump's gripes about her father, if the lawsuit survives motion to dismiss, Ms. Comey might well get more details of how Trump installed his Insurance Lawyer just in time to try to prosecute her father. (Indeed, Judge Jesse Furman, who presides over this case, suggested in an order he might grant Ms. Comey discovery before the motion to dismiss.)
Garza alleges he was fired in January after he raised concerns about comments made by Martin Bally, Campbell's vice-president of information technology including referring to one of the company's ingredients as bioengineered meat while going off on a racist tirade. The lawsuit recounts that Garza met with Bally in November 2024 to discuss his salary. However, Garza alleges, the meeting turned into an hour-long rant by Bally during which he disparaged the quality of Campbell's products and customers, made racist comments about Indian employees and admitted to coming to work while high on marijuana edibles.
"We have s*** for f**king poor people," Campbell vice president and chief information officer Martin Bally allegedly seethed in the recording, as quoted by Detroit-based news station WDIV. "Who buys our s***? I don't buy Campbell's products barely anymore. It's not healthy now that I know what the f***'s in it." "Bioengineered meat - I don't wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer," he added.
Suda says that her "for cause" termination was issued "without valid basis," alleging that she was dismissed while negotiating the terms of her departure because she refused to sign an agreement with PhAM that would not only "would allow the Museum's officers and agents to disparage [her], while [she] would be prohibited from discussing her departure publicly or defend[ing] her reputation," but also only afford her six months of severance pay versus the two years promised in her five-year contract.
Suda's lawsuit, filed Monday (10 November) in Pennsylvania state court, alleges that she was fired after clashing with "a small, corrupt faction" of the board of trustees who "formed an executive committee that actively worked to undermine Suda by attempting to sway staff, poison board relations and sabotage" the museum's pursuit of its mission. The lawsuit was first reported by The New York Times.
The organization had a strict and strange "no fraternization" policy. Some colleagues ignored it, and no one that I knew of faced consequences. We never did anything inappropriate or socialized outside of work. After the formal part of training was over, some job search assistance was ongoing with another individual. For a holiday gift, I gave all the trainers cookies. I also gave Barb a speaker I had won, since she enjoys music lots.
"Ryan's subsequent termination by the Select Board was purposeful retaliation for refusing to simply go along with the dictates of Chief Minnich." A former West Boylston town administrator who was fired after a spat with the longtime police chief over a Trump flag filed a lawsuit against the town, alleging he was wrongfully terminated.
A Jane Doe claims she was retaliated against and wrongfully terminated as a contractor for Fox Corporation after she reported that her boss sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions, a stunning lawsuit claims. In the complaint, which was filed in Los Angeles County this week, the Jane Doe who is a black woman who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ community alleges she was subjected to gender and race discrimination, as well as harassment due to a hostile work environment.
Post-termination defamation claims tied to the same conduct as wrongful termination cannot lead to recovery if the employee does not demonstrate damages beyond losing their job.
