The EEOC announced a federal lawsuit against Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast last week. They say the company discriminated against men when it planned a two-day networking trip for women employees only.(snip)
According to the complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in New Hampshire, about 250 female employees attended the event, which was held at the Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort in Connecticut. “Coca-Cola Northeast privately invited female employees and then excused the female employees who attended the event from their normal work duties on Sept. 10 and 11, 2024, and paid them their normal salary or wages without requiring them to use vacation or other paid time off,” the EEOC stated in a press release. The company did not invite any male employees to the event.(snip)
A male production employee at the company filed the lawsuit, and the EEOC complaint argues that he and other male employees would have attended the event if the company had invited them.

My soon to be former company does mess like this all the time.
Clear-cut systemic sexual discrimination.
How do they know which employees are women?
If males can’t have male only events then women DEFINITELY ARE NOT going to have their women only events.
Is this petty? Your damn right it is!!!!
The responsible party?
Here's the only female on the "Executive Team" at Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast. Susannah Smith, Vice President of Public Affairs & Communications since 2021.
A.W.F.U.L.s
They have a nonbinary, H1B-of-color, biologist on staff.
All Coke has to do is to begin offering the same thing, but for men. It’s not hard to figure out, unless you just get a special kick out of throwing events that shut their doors to men.
What’s good for the gander is also good for the goose!
Surprised that the woke coke AWFL isn’t wearing a pair of those big, ole black rimmed glasses they like to wear....you know, just to look smart and all.....LMAO.
The men need to demand a males-only retreat.
The broad needs to have her a$$ fired.
