Oprah Winfrey's network OWN is being sued by a former employee on the grounds of sex and pregnancy discrimination by a woman named Carolyn Hommel. The lawsuit was filed on Friday claiming that she was replaced when she was forced to take medical leave while pregnant.
Hommel was hired in 2010 as senior director of scheduling and acquisitions at the network. According to Hommel, she was on track to become vice president, but during her leave, her duties were given to a temporary employee. When she returned to the office, Hommel also claims that she was excluded from numerous meetings. A month after giving birth, on March 19, 2012, Hommel was fired.
According to Hommel, these actions were a result of her pregnancy and ensuing medical leave. She is seeking unspecified damages.
That's why I like oyibo people once you are broke, step up and look for someone to sue!
