I've read the details of the original california lawsuit against cisco, and it seemed to be a blatant attempt by the accuser to get back at his colleague and manager, in the guise of caste discrimination. It was subsequently sensationalized by the media.
- The accuser was hired to a coveted project by the manager, where every member was among the highest paid employees in Cisco (millions in total take home). Even among those people, the accuser was among the highest paid.
- The accuser was supposedly discriminated by not getting a $5,000 raise after the annual performance appraisals.
- The accuser was passed over for promotion, but the person appointed as the leader / successor by the manager was also of the same, supposedly discriminated caste.
- The accuser and the manager went to school together, studied every class for 4 years together, and the accuser was hired to this coveted position by this supposedly discriminatory manager.
