<b><i>Online Extra:</b></i> Pao Lawyers Slap Facebook With Discrimination Suit
A former Facebook employee is suing the company for gender discrimination and harassment, claiming her supervisor belittled her at work and asked why she 'did not just stay home and take care of her child.'
Chia Hong, who worked for Facebook Inc. from June 2010 to October 2013, is represented by San Francisco employment firm Lawless & Lawless, one of two firms representing Ellen Pao in a'gender bias trial'against Silicon Valley venture-capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. That case has sparked nationwide media coverage and drawn attention to the low numbers of women in the venture-capital and tech industries.
Hong accuses supervisor Anil Wilson of ignoring her opinions and input during group meetings in which she was either the only woman or one of very few women present. She claims Wilson admonished her for taking one personal day a month to volunteer at her child's school, even though that time was allowed under company policy. And Hong says Wilson, who is listed as a defendant in the complaint filed in San Mateo Superior Court, ordered her to organize parties and serve drinks to male colleagues, which was not part of her job description, nor was it asked of the men.
