Another Lawsuit Hits Zillow
A former employee of residential real estate online database Zillow is claiming in a lawsuit that she suffered age discrimination there shortly after another ex-worker filed a suit against the company alleging "sexual torture." Jennifer Young told the tech blog Valleywag that Zillow fired her for "job abandonment" after she checked into a hospital following a car accident Young, 41, also claims in the lawsuit that colleagues harassed her regarding her age.
"Ms. Young was quickly exposed to Zillow’s ‘frat house’ and ‘boys' club culture’ where binge drinking and the willingness to participate in lewd discourse was rewarded by lucrative assignments in the form of Zillow managers routing incoming calls for potential sales leads,” reads the suit, which was filed in a California court.
Earlier this week, another Zillow alum, Rachel Kremer, sued the company, charging "sexual torture" at the hands of male employees who sent her pornographic text messages and requested "sexual gratification" from her, among other claims.
