Excellent.
We had one of these women work here. Total feminist and everything was about how women were not treated equally. Very strange person. The men in the firm were scared to work with her because they were worried that if there was any problem they would be sued for sexual harassment.
Eventually the firm terminated her. She then threatened to sue for sexual harassment and discrimination. We went back to her prior firm and they confessed that they she had in fact had previously sued that firm for sexual harassment and harassment when she had been terminated there. That fact had not been disclosed to us by either her or her prior employer. (Their settlement agreement said that the whole matter would be kept confidential.)
We then threatened to counter-sue both her and her prior employer for fraud. She eventually dropped her claim against us, I think because we threatened to expose her actions in public.
we had a director of HR we fired. she was a little late in turning her laptop in, but eventually it came back, wiped clean, ..... or so she thought.
we sent it to a forensic recovery service. on it were numerous graphic porn movies..wait for it...with her as the star.
our lawyer wrote a long letter to her lawyer refuting every claim and then at the end revealed certain items were found on the laptop and perhaps the client might want to drop the lawsuit claim.
never heard from the lawyer or the woman again.
What obligation did her prior firm have to tell you that? I can’t imagine why they would? And did your firm specifically ask her if she sued her previous company?
John Doerr was a smart guy, but global warming really threw him for a loop.
