Zeina, voted woman of the year in 2006 at the company, was dismissed after colleagues said she was a disrespectful control freak

Paris — An executive who was voted woman of the year at Société Générale lost a lawsuit where she was seeking €5.2m.

Bignier says she was harassed by her managers and compliance officers and then fired out of the blue in 2016. The former SocGen executive argues she is still suffering from burnout three years after her dismissal. Representatives for SocGen declined to immediately comment on the ruling. Valerie Meimoun-Hayat, a lawyer for Bignier, did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment. A court official read out the result of the ruling on the phone but the full details will not be available for weeks.

Specifically, one junior colleague alleged she called him a “dimwit” in front of others and, on another occasion, yelled at him during a meeting to prevent him from sharing his views, according to Chaulet. The SocGen lawyer said Bignier also had problems with higher-ups, and at one point told her boss, “you lack courage”.
