High Court Agrees to Review Comsetic Executive Spat


— June 11, 2003

“The California Supreme Court agreed Wednesday to review an appellate court’s decision allowing a former L’Oreal sales manager to sue the company for retaliation.”

“The case concerns Elysa Yanowitz, a regional sales manager who alleges she received negative job reviews after she refused to fire a perfume saleswoman whom her boss considered unattractive. A state appeals court had ruled Yanowitz could sue for retaliation based on alleged sexual discrimination against the sales clerk she refused to fire.”

Actually, I think the boss said the saleswoman was “not hot enough.” The San Jose Mercury News carries the tale (via the AP) here.
