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.

    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?
