WVSP Settles Workplace Harassment Lawsuit for $300,000

“For context, Talia worked there 16 and a half years, never had one write up – not one negative evaluation. Nothing. She puts this in writing in an email, within six days she gets six,” attorney John-Mark Atkinson said. “That led to that summer when she got her yearly evaluation; it did not meet expectations and she was ineligible for a promotion for the cycle. So, for 16 years she was a good employee, a great employee. Then she puts a complaint in writing, ‘I'm being treated differently because I'm a woman and within six days she got written up six times.”
