gaming company on Thursday filed a lawsuit in state court asserting that the company maintained a "toxic work environment" in which female employees "faced hostility and a multitude of adverse actions based on their gender."
The company's website boldly proclaims that "Our Team is Happy and Healthy" and touts its culture, emphasizing that "We believe in a flat management model, in which everyone is a student and everyone is a teacher." She was initially hired in 2016 as a marketing project manager and promoted to senior project manager after four years. She says that she was "was everything you would want in an employee -- loyal, hardworking, and ambitious."
At one point she reported to a man who was the subject of many complaints that "he did not know how to work with women" and when he gave another female employee more responsibility, he then expressed anger when she asked for more pay. She says that one of the men on the management team "had inappropriate romantic relationships with female employees that reported directly to him."
