Pinterest has agreed to settle a massive $22.5 million sum to former Chief Operating Officer (COO) Francoise Brougher after alleged gender discrimination and wrongful termination within the company. The former COO went public with her claims and case against Pinterest that brought campaigns of empowerment to light and a settlement that somehow proves her case.
Moreover, the group called "Change at Pinterest" also advocates for 25 percent of women and eight percent of underrepresented minorities to have seats or work at least two layers within, reporting to the CEO. The so-called "diversity metrics" also calls for transparency within the seats and having more opportunities for the undermined communities within the company.
Since then, Pinterest has been making changes to its employment in terms of diversity and inclusivity within the company. That, and alongside the recently concluded lawsuit which had Pinterest backed up against its former COO.
Former COO Francoise Brough has successfully brought up and made public her side, making Pinterest literally pay and settle for the lawsuit against gender discrimination-helping the company's employment landscape thrive.
Moreover, the company is now pushing for inclusivity and diversity among its ranks by giving equal chances to all genders and races who apply for a position or employment within the company. The company has also revealed its compensation packages and how they decide for an employee's rate, and why it ends up like that.
