Lawsuit accuses Synapse CEO of discrimination and harassment against women
Three women are suing a Silicon Valley start-up and its CEO on allegations of harassment and discrimination based on gender, pregnancy and age, according to a complaint filed Monday in San Francisco state court.
The women claim that the CEO of Synapse Financial Technologies Inc., Sankaet Pathak, was verbally abusive and antagonized them in meetings and in private. The CEO “undermined, intimidated, and toyed with the female employees,” the complaint says, and made “overt, graphic sexual comments in front of and to female employees and demeaned and belittled them.
The suit was brought by Asya Bradley, Taylor Sims and Mharie Fraser, all of whom left the company or were fired within the last two years. They claim Pathak “screamed and cursed at the female employees and would block the door to intimidate them from leaving conference rooms.” According to the complaint, “He did not do this to the male employees.”
The complaint also alleges that the company discriminated against one employee because she had more than one child while working at Synapse. It says Pathak told employees that Bradley “had too many babies” and that she was taking advantage of Synapse by using maternity leave.Pathak is also accused of making inappropriate comments to one woman based on her age, saying the male employee she was having lunch with on her first day at Synapse was “into mom types.
