This is a new one ...

Another former Yahoo employee has filed a lawsuit claiming that management running the company's "Media Org" was biased against men.

The complaint (PDF) filed by Scott Ard says that Yahoo's "stack ranking" system was "without oversight or accountability" and was "more arbitrary and discriminatory" than stack ranking used by other companies.

The lawsuit claims that Yahoo's Media Org employees were ranked from 0.0 to 5.0 before being subject to a "calibration" process by higher-level management. Ard claims employees weren't told their numeric ranking but were only informed of their "Bucket" ranking, labeled "Greatly Exceeds, "Exceeds," "Achieves," "Occasionally Misses," or "Misses."

[...] The lawsuit's allegations closely mirror those of Gregory Anderson, another male ex-Media Org worker who sued Yahoo in February. Anderson and Ard have the same lawyer, Palo Alto-based Jon Parsons. Discovery is ongoing in the Anderson case, which is currently scheduled for a trial in May.

    If Al Bundy tried a masculist movement today, he'd be divorced, fired, and living in the gutter in short order. Lucky for him there are all-American flag-waving startups just itching to give him temporary housing, so he can still sleep in a box under a bridge. In a modern miracle, his box unit will even have connectivity to Yahoo so he can see all those jobs he's barred from as a man. Cynics rejoice! Women are destroying civilization so that men will soon have no choice left but to live in a barrel in the marketplace! Diogenes would be laughing his ass off if he were alive.

        If Cliven, Ammon, and Ryan Bundy tried a masculist movement today, they'd be divorced, fired, arrested, and living in an Oregon jail in short order. Lucky for them there are all-American flag-waving militias just itching to give them temporary support, so they can still have their celestial wives on a planet of their own in the afterlife.

        FTFY!!! No thanks are necessary.

        FTFYEM!!

    The issue here isn't that Mayer is a woman, but that she's a Jew.

    Not all women are assholes, but all Jews are assholes -- woman or not.

    Let's not confuse ourselves - women are not our enemy. Jews are.
