\nThe following May, Gallegos was degraded by one of the bosses who informed her that her final resting place would be hell due to her \u201cunnatural\u201d action that insulted God, according to the wrongful termination lawsuit. Gallegos followed protocol, and informed a supervisor about the harassment and sexual orientation discrimination<\/a> she experience with another boss. As oppose to resolving the issue, Gallegos claims the supervisor complained about her work ethic and performance.
\nSince Gallegos couldn\u2019t receive any support from her managerial staff, she attempted to transfer to a different work division including Hispanic customers. The lawsuit states that another employee learned about Gallegos\u2019 plan and stated, \u201cYou really think they\u2019re going to give the position to you?\u201d Despite the employee\u2019s derogative comments, Gallegos was granted her internal transfer. Gallegos\u2019 co-worker continued to make degrading comments including \u201cOh, I just thought he was an ugly woman.\u201d According to court records, the co-workers also addressed her as \u201cThe Mask.\u201d<\/p>\nHostile Work Environment: Emotional Side Effects<\/h2>\n
\nAs time progressed, the work conditions failed to improve. Gallegos found herself being \u201cexcluded\u201d from work gatherings consisting of staff and supervisors. The complaint states, in August 2014, Gallegos was terminated from her job on the basis of hearsay stating the bank could no longer provide employment to her. Initially, a part of Gallegos\u2019 case was dismissed due to a \u201clong-standing history of performance issues and absenteeism.\u201d Although the bank claims the allegations are \u201cinconsistent\u201d with the long-term relationship Wells Fargo shares with employees, the bank and Gallegos managed to reach a wrongful termination confidential settlement.<\/p>\nAbogado de despidos injustificados<\/h2>\n
