Google in pregnancy trouble
Do no evil just got cut back to do not evil unless you are pregnant.
Newsday: In late 2003, after three years as a high-level saleswoman, Christina Elwell says she had so impressed her bosses at Internet search giant Google Inc. that she was promoted to national sales director. She was even singled out at a meeting of Google’s sales force as contributing to the company’s ability to file for an initial public offering. But all that changed, according to a lawsuit filed against the company in federal court in Manhattan last week, after Elwell told her boss several months later she was pregnant with quadruplets and experiencing medical complications. Over the next year, according to her suit, Elwell, 35, of Manhattan, would see her position deleted from a Google organizational chart, a promised lesser role rescinded and filled by a man she had hired, and her career derailed by a series of demotions and a firing. The suit says she was branded a human resources “nightmare” by her boss, Timothy Armstrong, Google’s vice president of national sales, who is also named as a defendant in the suit. She also lost three of her unborn children. read more>
