A veteran black female fraud investigator is suing the New York State Department of Financial Services alleging she was treated unfairly compared to white male counterparts and called a “bitch” for just doing her job.
Manns, who spent 20 years working as an undercover investigator for the city Human Resources Administration before landing a job at DFS in 2016, also reported a fight between two colleagues that she said could have imperiled an undercover case, the filing says. Manns worked for the New York State Department of Financial Services, where she allegedly experienced a toxic work environment.“Deirdre was an excellent worker. Her work was top notch, impeccable,” Edwards told The Post on Friday.
DFS declined and went after her instead, claimed Edwards, who said he served as a “buffer” to resolve disputes.
