Mondelez Age Discrimination Lawsuit Results in $200K Verdict
Have you ever been discriminated against for your age? One former manager at Mondelez International was, and filed a lawsuit as a result. Fortunately for her, that lawsuit ended with a jury verdict for $200,000. Joan Konsavage, a long-time employee of Mondelez International, first began getting hints from her supervisor that she should “step aside and let younger employees shine” back during the summer of 2013. Shortly before the comments began, the company, a “multibillion-dollar snack-food giant…split off from Kraft Foods and was building a new team at its Wilkes-Barre distribution center.” However, Konsavage, who was 50-years-old at the time, had no plans of retiring any time some and was not a fan of her boss’s suggestions. In addition, she had a growing list of other concerns that began around the same time.
