His attorneys proposed that he was fired 'out of the clear blue sky' because he was a white man, and that the move was in keeping with the hospital's 'five year plan' to boost diversity by 2020.

The jury agreed with him and on Tuesday, awarded him $10million in a reverse discrimination payout.

STICK IT TO THE MAN.

Best news I’ve read all day!

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Excessive award, but happy to see it.

Unfortunately these types of corporate decisions are par for the course for those in higher positions.

I knew one who had his territory changed a year before he was to retire....had to travel over 200 miles every day to the new location. And it happens at all levels when companies want someone to “look elsewhere”. One sales person was given the job of cleaning bathrooms and other tidy up tasks in hopes he’d quit.

And now it’s CASE LAW

It’ll be the taxpayer who ultimately pays for this BS, not the people who thought it was a good idea.

he was fired 'out of the clear blue sky' because he was a white man

Happening daily all over the place.

I like the part where the plaintive was on the diversity and inclusion committee and drew up promotional material for it.

[EEGator]

There is no such thing as “reverse discrimination”, it’s just discrimination against a white male.

[teeman8r]

it did take two women to replace him...

[Vigilanteman]

I’m sure the firing was justified. White males use hospital services far less than their demographics suggest that they should. < / sarcasm >

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

That’s how you fight these racist bastards, lawsuits lawsuits lawsuits. Same with these vaccine mandates, sue sue sue.

[Boomer]

Good. Everyone in the same boat should do this. It will only stop when it cost more than it’s worth to the evil diversity woke culture in business. Hire on merit; not gender or color.

[CodeToad]

Had to be replaced by two women who probably still didn’t do the job he did.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Took two people to replace him.

[vetvetdoug]

I’d wager that the black woman that replaced him was far less educated and qualified.

[Chode]

so it took TWO women to replace ONE man??? yeah that’ll save them money

[DoughtyOne]

I enjoy seeing cases like this come along every once in a
while.

Glad to hear this - it was inevitable. The corporate climate of “diversity for diversity sake” is causing people to be quite brazen about what they believe they can do.

At my last place our “Chief People Officer” introduced herself as “Asian and female, so ‘diversity’”...I don’t think they hear the chill go down the spine of every straight white male - at a software company no less. After almost 20yrs I was abruptly let go, when there were plenty of roles I could have covered - a day after they demo’d my work at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. I was offered no explanation.

...makes one wonder.

[redgolum]

Surprised it made it to court.

Typically, cases like this won’t be heard because “white men can’t be discriminated against.”
