Former Bayer Exec Says She Was Fired For Defending A Pregnant Colleague
Former Bayer vice president Irene Laurora is suing the pharma giant for alleged discrimination, claiming she was dismissed because she stood up for a pregnant colleague’s maternity leave.
Laurora claims than an unnamed colleague was taken off of a project because the latter employee wanted to take the maternity leave that was owed to her. Afterwards, according to the suit, Laurora confronted supervisors about that decision and was eventually fired.
