Case: Discrimination/Hostile Work Environment (M.D. Fla.)

A Florida federal district court denied City Furniture, Inc.’s motion to dismiss Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and Florida Civil Rights Act hostile work environment sex discrimination claims by a female former employee alleging unwanted hugs from her male supervisor after her breast augmentation surgery, ruling that identifying better treated similarly situated individuals and linking alleged discrimination to an adverse employment action isn’t necessary for her claims to survive.
