The former head of finance at a cutting-edge biotech firm claims she told its CEO that she was"not a waitress" after he told her a group had no red wine at a company dinner last year, the Workplace Relations Commission has heard.

"I stood up to go to the bathroom, Eric was there with the guys - he turned around to me and said we've no red wine," Ms McGann said of the company’s CEO, Eric Rhodes. Although Ms McGann considered that issue to have been rectified in the following year, her case was that the company set about trying to"demote" her after she looked move to part-time work in 2022, her solicitor Adrian Twomey said.

She said that when Mr Rhodes told her in a November 2022 Zoom call that the firm was about to advertise for a new vice-president of finance she"immediately knew there wouldn’t be room" for her job and the new VP.Mr Rhodes's response was that it would be"up to the head of finance to decide, but yes", Ms McGann said.

ERS Genomics, which was co-founded by Nobel laureate Emmanuel Charpentier and sells licences for the cutting-edge gene-editing technology based on Professor Charpentier’s work, is contesting the claims.
