In a recent lawsuit filed against the owner of a franchise in Duluth, GA as well as against the parent company of Chick-Fil-A is but the latest strike against the troubled fast food chain, as new allegations of gender discrimination have come to light.
Within the court briefing, it is revealed that Brenda Honeycutt, the store’s General Manager with 21 years of service under her belt, found herself frozen out of management meetings and eventually replaced in that role with a male hired by her store’s owner, Jeff Howard, earlier this year. This came after 5 other female employees found themselves demoted or terminated in the past year despite high performance metrics. The owner allegedly made it clear to Ms Honeycutt as well as others that the termination was a move designed to force Ms Honeycutt into a role as a stay-at-home mother.
It's doubtful right wing kooks understand gender equality or the impact of removing large numbers of women from the workforce.

(Most companies have been sued for discrimination at one time or another. When will this relentless attack end? Enough already)

They told unemployment it was due to my work and attendance record.
Maybe, just maybe, Ms Honeycutt was not the most qualified person for the position and claimed that her dismissal was due to move designed to force Ms Honeycutt into a role as a stay-at-home mother.
Which would fit perfectly into the the "Aren't they an evil company" current mud slinging campaign.
