Sony Playstation hit with gender discrimination lawsuit by former employee

Sony PlayStation has been hit with a lawsuit by a former employee, alleging gender discrimination and wrongful termination after speaking up “about discrimination against females” at the company, the media reported.

According to a report in Axios, a former IT security analyst Emma Majo at Playstation is seeking court approval to “expand her effort into a class action on behalf of women who’ve worked for PlayStation in the past few years”.

“Sony discriminates against female employees, including those who are female and those who identify as female, in compensation and promotion and subjects them to a work culture predominated by men,” her lawsuit alleged.
