Ousted WeWork CEO Adam Neumann and the company he co-founded are being sued for pregnancy discrimination, US media reported.
Former chief executive Maria Bardhi alleges management at the office leasing start-up "transparently and systematically marginalized and discriminated against" her after and during two pregnancies, Bloomberg reported her lawyer saying Thursday.
The lawsuit, filed in New York with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, claims Nuemann referred to Bardi's maternity leave as a "vacation" and "retirement."
