“AT&T did not treat the vicious and vile, racist and misogynistic Death Threat... with any urgency or gravity,” Stacey Fowler alleges in her lawsuit.
A woman in Ohio who worked at AT&T for more than 30 years has filed a lawsuit against the telecommunications company, accusing it of discriminatory retaliation after she says she was fired for reporting a “racist, misogynistic” threat she received that called her the N-word.
According to the suit, Fowler, a Black woman and director in Columbus, said she walked into her office in March and found a note under the door that read: “YOU STUPID N----- BITCH IF WE CAN’T TAKE YOU DOWN WILL TAKE YOU OUT.”“Fowler immediately reported the racist, misogynistic threat.
According to the lawsuit, Fowler worked in the construction and engineering department, which was “dominated” by white men. “When the folks that needed to be let go were notified, they were notified by their direct managers who were the white men that reported to me,” Fowler said. “It happened all on the same day.”
In March, Fowler had a full day of meetings with her reports—the same managers who led the layoffs on their teams—who traveled in from other offices across the stateFowler alleged to The Daily Beast that because the investigation following the layoffs was lagging, employees took matters “into their own hands” in an attempt to scare her to quit.
She explained that she got a call from her boss one day in April while she continued to wait for an outcome of the investigation into the note. However, instead of any findings on the origin of the racist letter, Fowler was fired for violating a business code of conduct related to the complaint employees filed against her in February.
