Dial H For Hero (1,677 posts)Jury awards $10M to former exec who said he was fired because he is white malehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/jury-awards-10m-former-exec-061700888.htmlA man who alleged in a lawsuit that he was fired from a hospital system because he is a white man has been awarded a $10 million verdict by a North Carolina jury, according to court documents.David Duvall of Michigan sued Novant Health, Inc. in 2019 after he was fired as senior vice president of marketing and communications the previous year.Duvall said in the suit that he was terminated without cause "as part of an intentional campaign to promote diversity in its management ranks" and that he was fired due to his sex and gender.Novant Health, which is based in Winston-Salem, has denied those allegations. It has said in court filings that he was fired for deficient performance and the delegation of critical duties to subordinates.3

Star Member Wingus Dingus (4,874 posts) 8. Being fired for "poor work performance" wasn't going to help him getan equivalent position elsewhere, either--fair or not, they should seen the retaliation coming. What I find suspect is that it took TWO NEW hires to do his same job. So how truly poor could his work performance have been? They accused him of over-delegating--but it sounds like they piled the work on him and then fired him and split his job in half (recognizing that it was too much for one person).
Racial discrimination is illegal, regardless of the target's ethnicity. Rather than "Poor white guy", this case is "Poor Proggies got caught and nailed."
Poor, little old, defenseless and oppressed White men
Sounds like the annual employee evaluation didn’t support a ‘firing for poor performance’ and noting they had to hire two people to accomplish the same tasks he was doing bear out his allegations. Sounds like he had a legitimate claim and the jury voted to compensate him for his loss. KC
Dr. Strange (25,121 posts) 18. There seems to have been two key pieces of evidence.The first was that the company was trying to claim that he wasn't doing a satisfactory job. But then they filled his position with two women. It was weird trying to argue that someone who isn't doing their job properly needs to be replaced by TWO people.The other was that there had been multiple firings in high-level positions, where a white male was fired and replaced with someone who was a minority of some type. With these all happening in a relatively small time frame (maybe a couple of years?), it seemed like it was a deliberate action.https://myfox8.com/news/north-carolina/jury-awards-10-million-to-white-former-novant-health-executive-for-reverse-discrimination-in-firing/Reply to this postBack to top Alert abuse Link here Permalink
This DUer seems to have it summed up pretty well.
Ooooh, I do wish I had a mole over there. How sweet would it be to make the simple point that it takes two WIMMEN to fill the shoes of ONE man?!
One wonders if the two women had to split the guy's salary, or if they each got more than half of what he made.
