Former Wells Fargo executive files $1 million discrimination lawsuit

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A former Wells Fargo executive is suing the company, alleging discrimination.

Robert Propst, who served as a senior vice president at Wells Fargo, filed the federal lawsuit in Charlotte. Propst alleges company leaders marginalized him due to his vision impairment and because the majority of the employees who worked under him were Black.
The lawsuit claims the treatment of Propst and his team "changed dramatically" after a 2022 reorganization. Propst says his supervisor refused to meet with his team despite visiting Charlotte regularly and often questioned the value of their work. Propst contends his efforts to address the concerns were met with retaliation rather than support.

Propst claims his supervisor repeatedly pressured him to abandon his approved remote-work accommodation and return to the office. He says the supervisor scrutinized his attendance through badge-tracking reports even though he was exempt due to his remote status.

Propst, who worked for Wells Fargo and its predecessor companies for over 30 years, says his supervisor repeatedly made comments about his age, claiming the remarks were part of a broader effort to force him into an early retirement.
The lawsuit seeks more than $1 million in damages.

Maybe they'll be one about location strategy. How it seems to supersede a doctor's note and violates the spirit of ada reasonable accommodations. Wfh is a suitable alternative for people who cannot make it to the office due to life long chronic issues.
One because covid wfh proved it can be done. And costs an employer no expense.

Misleading in the fact nowhere on teamworks does it say that ada accommodation cannot be used for location strategy.

It's only stated after the fact once its already been granted. Yeah they put all those stipulations almost if a disability can be turned on or off. That's how they are handling it. I wish someone would come forward to the press.

The former employee is suing, alleging discrimination based on his s-xual orientation, visual impairment, advocacy for Black employees, race, and age. I can say with 100% certainty that one reason my own tenure was cut short was my age—I am over 40—among other issues I am considering legal action over. Fortunately, the law firm I’ve consulted identified a potential loophole in the “hold harmless” agreement displaced employees are required to sign. Hopefully, WF will do the right thing and make things right so I don’t have to tie this up in litigation for several months or years. Fortunately, I have records of my previously filed EAC/EthicsLine complaints I filed.

robert propst is a dishonest sl--e ball. he used to be #2 in the tax department but was told he had 60 days to find a new job in the bank or be fired. he was allegedly tell lots of coworkers about an afair his boss was having with one of his ( the boss's) subordinates. he was accused of se-----y harassing a male subordinate in the tax department named will.
anyone that knows him well will tell you he is dishonest, smarmy, sneaky, and has left a trail of people that have been lied to and stolen from. and his age is incorrect he is not 63

I pray justice be done.
All those who filed win.
But most likely a deal will be made before the trial.
Still the more the merrier.
Charlotte lawyers are so busy with clients from Wells Fargo. They are very picky now.

I wear glasses thicker than the bottom of a coke bottle, but you don't see me crying. In fact, I can't even see me - do they make glass coke bottles anymore or is it all microplasticated ?

@ad Correction to my previous:

Especially for those with approved Workplace Accommodations who were allowed to WFH due to disability/medical reasons, yet were still displaced.

Once WF settled the case last month, there's a clear path to victory for those who have been wronged. This one seems pretty egregious on the surface claims

What's not clear is how he lost his job. Was he fired, laid off, or quit?

I fully expect to see more of these type of lawsuits. You can't run a company this recklessly and not expect repercussions. God bless anyone who shines a light on this corrupt regime of "leaders".
