Summary
Three seasoned HR professionals are suing Washington State’s Commerce Department, alleging systemic discrimination based on race, gender, and age — claiming white male colleagues received preferential treatment while women and minorities faced harsher scrutiny, mockery, and retaliation. The plaintiffs, all over 40, say they reported misconduct but saw no action, including one plaintiff being mocked in a racially insensitive way by a defendant. The lawsuit names two former HR leaders, echoing a similar case filed last year — and now, with the HR chief position vacant, the department remains silent on the pending claims.
