The wife of a Marine reservist on duty in Iraq said Monday that his stateside employer wrongly fired him from his six-figure job, and she demanded the company reinstate him with pay – at least until he returns home.
A lawyer representing Shari Moffitt of Irvine sent a letter to Hyundai Motor America executives in Fountain Valley asking why they would fire Sgt. Clifford Moffitt, 35, while he was overseas serving his country..
…
Company officials released a statement saying an investigation found \”numerous instances of extreme sexual harassment involving multiple employee victims.\”
I don\’t think I\’ve ever mentioned this on my blog but I work at Hyundai. This guy\’s a national manager in the credit department (HMFC). His wife works here too and she actually sits right in front of his office. So I guess he was harassing women while his wife was there (kinky). He hired a lot of employees too, which probably explains why all the cute girls are in HMFC.
Word around the office is that his wife\’s taking advantage of his military status to sue Hyundai. Cause if they fire him it\’d be \”unpatriotic\” and \”unAmerican\”, right? Hyundai has a zero tolerance policy, so if someone\’s found guilty of sexual harassment it results in immediate termination. I guess it sort of conflicts with the Uniformed Services Employment and Re-Employment Rights Act.
Anyway, that\’s a little excitement around the office for a boring Tuesday. The LA Times also has an article about this (registration required).
