$2+ Million Age Discrimination Verdict

"I'll be the judge of that!" On this episode, The Job Judge discusses a case in Ohio where a plaintiff was awarded $2.12 million in damages, plus over $400,000 in attorney fees and costs after claiming that she was discriminated against based on her age during an alleged layoff during a time when the department she worked in was bulking up on younger employees. She was awarded punitive damages in part due to remarks allegedly made by management about getting employees who are “younger” and “hungrier.” The company changed its reasons for her termination.

$12 Million Verdict in Covid Vaccine Mandate Lawsuit

"I'll be the judge of that!" During the COVID-19 pandemic, many employers mandated that employees receive the COVID-19 vaccine or face termination. One employee was given this directive but sought a reasonable accommodation for religion under federal law, which was denied. She was terminated for refusing to take the vaccine. She sued and a jury found in her favor to the tune of $12 million. The podcast provides advice for employers on responding to requests for accommodations based on religion. The Job Judge also discusses a post about a person who received a Performance Improvement Plan. The employee buckled down, improved and was able to overcome the PIP.

Plenty of Warning Signs - County Pays $7.2 million to Wife of Firefighter Killed by Coworker

"I'll be the judge of that!" LA County will reportedly pay $7.2 million to the family of former LA County firefighter who was shot and killed by a coworker in 2021. The murder occurred after his coworker engaged in abusive and aggressive behavior towards the slain firefighter for over 2 years, with plenty of warning signs of abuse and violent tendencies which seemingly went ignored by his superiors. In this episode of the Job Judge, we discuss the need to take complaints seriously, the importance of investigations, early intervention and courageous leadership and the reality that abusers can sometimes play the victim, and the need for leaders to not always try to find common ground - sometimes there is only one person who is the problem and that person needs to be held accountable. In our "Ask the Job Judge" segment, Karen also addresses a viewer question about HR making her monitor employee bathroom breaks as a secretary and report bathroom usage findings.
