It doesn’t look like any tech company is safe from the explosion of gender discrimination lawsuits in Silicon Valley right now, not even Twitter. Hot on the heels of Facebook’s own legal issues, Twitter may be facing a lawsuit of its own courtesy of Tina Huang, a former employee who claims that she was overlooked for a promotion die to her gender and was forced to leave the company for complaining.
Twitter has been hit with a class action suit, alleging gender discrimination in its promotion policies towards female employees. The suit comes just days after Facebook was hit by a separate legal complaint, claiming that a female employee was discriminated against, and ultimately fired, based on her gender. The Twitter suit, filed on Thursday in San Francisco, involves Tina Huang who, according to the complaint, was employed by Twitter between 2009 – 2014 in”varying software engineering roles.” Huang claims she was overlooked for a promotion to Senior Staff Engineer without good reason and that, after she complained directly to CEO Dick Costolo, she was put on administrative leave and ultimately forced to leave the company.
