Citi Employee's Racist Comment Leads to Lawful Dismissal

Imagine someone said something mean about people from a certain place during a job interview.

That person, Ann Watson, used to work at Citi.

She was fired for saying that working with people from India was a "nightmare."

She also said it to a person of Indian origin, during an interview.

The judge said the firing was fair.

She said she couldn't remember the comment due to long COVID-19 and menopause.

Watson sued the bank, claiming she was treated unfairly.

But, the judge didn't agree.

Citi said they have to make sure everyone feels welcome at work.
