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.

    I guess you missed all the times that men have done the same thing.... And your anecdote shows that your either lying or have some serious personal issues with women and it is very apparent in an interview.

      You can't get married.
      I'm a 30-year-old boy.
      We're a generation of men raised by women.
      I'm wondering if another woman
      is really the answer we need.

      So are you implying that the OP was being sarcastic? Cause there are plenty of people that comment here who believe such things to be true...

            Ethanol's mum texts me the first time she hears the toilet flush each morning, so we know he's awake and about to start his rantrolling

              That's kind of inefficient. Shouldn't she use twitter?

    Men haven't done the same thing. Men compliment my experience, suggest they might have a job for me, and promise to keep in touch. Then I never hear from them again.

    Men give false hope to men because we're all bros and shit. Women know they have no obligation to outsiders and don't bother to pretend.

        Kind of difficult not to make assumptions when everyone is a tight lipped ambitious liar. Sharing information is a sign of weakness.
