The Royal Bank of Canada’s (RBC) former chief financial officer has filed a nearly $50-million lawsuit against the bank claiming she was wrongfully dismissed and that what the employer did tainted her reputation.
Nadine Ahn filed the lawsuit in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on Aug. 8, saying that allegations by RBC that she had an “undisclosed close personal relationship” with another employee who received preferential treatment has no merit, the Canadian Press reported.
The employer’s decision to fire her was tainted in part by gender-based stereotypes about friendships between women and men, she claimed in the lawsuit, according to the report.
