Chloe Koprucki, a former senior director at a financial technology company in New Jersey, alleges she was fired after becoming a mother and requesting accommodations related to her childbirth recovery. She claims the company engaged in a pattern of discrimination, including placing her on a “mommy track” and retaliating against her for raising concerns about her treatment.
Chloe Koprucki, a former senior director at a financial technology company in New Jersey, has filed a discrimination lawsuit against her former employers, alleging she was fired after becoming a mother and requesting accommodations while recovering from childbirth. Koprucki claims she was subjected to years of discrimination and retaliation by management because of her pregnancies, motherhood, and protected accommodations.
According to the lawsuit, filed this month in federal court, Koprucki was given the reason for her termination in June 2023 as being “viewed as a ‘redundant’ layer of management.” However, Koprucki maintains that her six years at Broadridge Financial Solutions were successful and accomplished, and she believes her termination was directly related to her pregnancies and maternity leave requests. The lawsuit details a pattern of alleged mistreatment starting from the moment Koprucki announced her first pregnancy in February 2021. She claims supervisors placed her on a “mommy track,” gradually stripping her of responsibilities and stymying her progress. Koprucki alleges that she was effectively stripped of half her team, many of her major clients, and her responsibility over the broker processing services desk by the time she was two months out from having her first child. Despite lodging complaints with Human Resources, Koprucki claims that her concerns were dismissed, and the company investigation found no evidence of discrimination or retaliation. The situation worsened after her second pregnancy and subsequent request for remote work accommodations. Koprucki alleges that after returning to the office, management’s attitude towards her changed dramatically, she was stripped of more responsibilities, closely scrutinized, and ultimately terminated in June 2023. Koprucki’s attorney, John S. Crain, asserts that this case highlights the ongoing issue of pregnant women facing discrimination and retaliation in the workplace. He states that Broadridge’s alleged actions are illegal and that they aim to prove to the tech and finance industries that it is unacceptable to ruin a woman’s career because she is pregnant
