ZURICH, Feb 11 ― Nestle will pay a former manager US$2.2 million compensation after a Swiss court upheld her claim of bullying while working at the company, newspaper Tages-Anzeiger reported.
The 67-year-old former head of global food safety had complained because she felt discredited and degraded by Nestle employees for years and had suffered such psychological damage that she had to apply for an occupational disability pension when she was 55, the report said.Her lawyer, Mathilde Bessonnet, said the payment showed the court had recognised Motarjemi’s claim that her career was destroyed and that her employer was fully responsible.
