KPMG Sued for Gender Discrimination

A former senior manager at KPMG has filed a proposed $350 million class-action lawsuit against the firm alleging a pattern of gender discrimination that has prevented women from being promoted to leadership positions. The lawsuit was filed June 2 by Donna Kassman, 54, who worked in KPMG’s New York offices for 17 years. She resigned after she was denied a promised promotion and had her salary cut by $20,000 when she went on maternity leave. The firm allegedly told her she was being paid “too much” and when she asked about ways to earn back the $20,000, her male supervisor allegedly told her she did not need the money because she “had a nice engagement ring.” Click here to read more.
