Oracle sex suit winner seeks $679,000, apology

  • Post a comment
An IT sales executive is seeking nearly $680,000 from software maker Oracle after winning a sex discrimination case against the company.

Karen Carlucci, an American IT sales account manager who worked at the company's U.K. headquarters in Reading for 10 years, won the sex discrimination case at an employment tribunal earlier this year, after exposing a "boys club" culture in which she was subjected to sexist e-mails and sexist behavior from her male bosses.

After making a formal complaint of sex discrimination to Oracle, Carlucci said she was told by her manager, "Is this how you want to be remembered?" And after returning to work following maternity leave for the birth of her second child, she said a restructure forced her into a lower-level job and so she resigned.
