Old guy sues over age discrimination
Posted on January 3, 2007 5:17 PM
There's nothing better than tales of mischievous human resources types, especially when they could face a $30 million dollar groin punch from someone they've screwed over in the workplace.
Tales of Morgan Stanley firing Ed Sullivan claim it was just another reorg, no harm, no foul. Ed has decided to make a "really big show" of his dismissal because he thinks HR backstabbing helped him out the door...
The lawsuit said the personnel executives substituted their “own made-up poison-pen critique of Sullivan in place of the legitimate evaluations of him in order to create a paper trail upon which he would be fired.�Ed will have a tough time proving age discrimination, something that companies have been very good at getting away with for years. All I can hope for is the same treatment coming to the HR creeps in later years. Or even better, one of them begging Ed for a job someday.
The executives created false and defamatory statements about Sullivan’s job performance before strong-arming senior managers into incorporating them into his review, the lawsuit in Manhattan said.

Looks like to me he got the royal "Wal-Mart door greeter" treatment. Doesn't surprise me that other companies do it too.
