Former employee sues Apple for discrimination

People sue over the worst of things, this is not the worst but is discrimination worth 40 million? I don't think so, she should just sue as to how much she would of gotten if she was payed as much as her counter parts. America is going down the hole with worthless suing and nonsense.

But also in germany you have a hard time getting the job in the first place.. with this high unemployment.

but the $40 million was by a previous employee not the one in the story to be honest if those kinda things did go on then she has every right to seek compensation

Point made, and I apologize for the sarcasm. My poorly made point was supposed to be that while America has its faults ($40 million for something like this is ridiculous), Germany is far from perfect as well.

and yet somehow the germans make amazing products like Porsche, Mercedez, BMW, Leica cameras/Zeiss lenses, to name a very few things. somehow the germans DO indeed seem awfully productive. use your head before you make sarcastic comments, only to make yourself look like a dumb american.

Yea, in Germany can't you also pretty much never get fired from you job. That's gotta be good for productivity.

Things like that are only possible in the USA. 40 Million because of discrimination... It's not as if that other employee would have EVER earned 40 Million bucks in his ENTIRE life. In Germany you'd get - in the best case - an "adequate" compensation. But definitely nothing as disproportionate as 40 Million Bucks.

ouch, I hope that manager is fired, stupid things like this shouldn't be going on anywhere.
