Sony: Former employee accuses the Group's discrimination against women and complains

A former employee promotes Sony gender-specific discrimination and unlawful termination and is sufficient. The IT Security Analysis Emma Major had been terminated after its own statement after submitting complaint about the unfair treatment of women in the company. Major also aims to extend its thing to a collection claim in the name of female PlayStation staff of recent years.

Allegations against Sony

It's about it: How Axios.com reports, complains the former IT security analyst Emma Major against Sony. She accuses the company to discriminate female employees.

Discrimination against women: In the application, violations of the Equal Pay-Act are accused of the company. Thus, women would be disadvantaged in the payment and promotion and subjected to a male dominated work culture.

That says Major concretely: The former Sony employee reports to be ignored by a manager who responded only to male colleagues. It was also passed on carriage. In the end, she was also unlawfully terminated, as a result of its complaint about the grievances in the company. In the application, Major Sony accuses that the Group has asserted her termination in the context of a departmental closure — but she had not been employed in this department.

Collective action sought: The former Sony employee declares that the disadvantage you learned is not an individual case in the Group. Other women fight according to Major with the same problems. That's why she wants to extend her action to a class action.

The big picture

Major's case is currently one of many. In the video game industry, more and more voices are currently loud, which report discrimination, discrimination, toxic working atmosphere and poor working conditions. This affects different companies.

Info: Gamer has asked Sony for an official statement to the action. As soon as new information reaches us, we will inform you about it.

A particularly prominent case is the Publisher Activision Blizzard, against which more than a lawsuit was sought by a large authority. Of course, this case has a different scale than the Sony complaint, which is currently sought by an individual and supports its statements.

It should therefore not be drawn until any more premature conclusions. In principle, it is also problematic if women are not taken seriously in discrimination or harassment cases. Therefore, it is important to stay neutral for the time being and listen to both sides.
