“#Pinterest<\/a> to pay $22.5 million to settle former executive’s discrimination suit<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Pinterest said it will pay $22.5 million to settle a gender discrimination lawsuit brought by former chief operating officer Fran\u00e7oise Brougher.<\/p>\n

The social-media firm announced the deal Monday, about four months after Brougher filed the complaint alleging that Pinterest\u2019s bosses shut her out of decisions and offered her a worse compensation package than her male peers.<\/p>\n

Pinterest agreed to pay $20 million to Brougher and her lawyers and give another $2.5 million to organizations that support women and other underrepresented groups in the tech industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cPinterest recognizes the importance of fostering a workplace environment that is diverse, equitable and inclusive and will continue its actions to improve its culture,\u201d the company said in a joint statement with Brougher. <\/p>\n

\u201cFrancoise welcomes the meaningful steps Pinterest has taken to improve its workplace environment and is encouraged that Pinterest is committed to building a culture that allows all employees to feel included and supported,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

The settlement is one of the largest ever publicly announced in an individual gender discrimination case, according to The New York Times<\/a>, which first reported on the deal Monday.<\/p>\n

But Pinterest did not admit to any liability for the allegations in Brougher\u2019s suit, which said she was sidelined and ultimately forced out after about two years in the job because she didn\u2019t conform to gender stereotypes.<\/p>\n

In a blog post<\/a> published the day she filed the lawsuit, Brougher said she was fired in April after complaining about the \u201crampant discrimination\u201d and \u201cmisogyny\u201d within the company. Pinterest allegedly claimed she wasn\u2019t being \u201ccollaborative\u201d and tried to tell staff that she left voluntarily, she said.<\/p>\n

Brougher also said she wasn\u2019t taken on the investor roadshow before Pinterest\u2019s 2019 initial public offering even though she was the only executive who had taken a company public before.<\/p>\n

Pinterest said it\u2019s taken several steps to improve its culture in recent months, such as app<\/a>ointing two women to its board of directors and setting up an internal platform to improve transparency about compensation.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
