\"Sony <\/p>\n

Eight more women, some current and some former employees, have added their accounts of sexism experienced at Sony PlayStation to a proposed class-action lawsuit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This news comes by way of Axios<\/a><\/em>, which reports that these eight claims will be added to the claims of former Sony IT security analyst Emma Majo. She filed a lawsuit against the company last year, alleging that \u201cSony discriminated against female employees, including those who are female and those who identify as female, in compensation and promotion and subjects them to a work culture predominated by men.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Majo sought court approval in 2021 to turn her case into a class-action lawsuit, stating that she filed the suit on behalf of herself and all women who have worked for Sony before and those still working there. Then, in February, Sony asked a court to dismiss it<\/a>. Now, Axios<\/em> reports that eight more claims of sexism experienced at the company in U.S. offices have been added to the case. These womens\u2019 claims include demeaning comments, a lack of attention for their ideas and work, unwelcome advances, and a general sense that getting promoted within the company is harder for women, Axios<\/em> writes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of them is Marie Harrington, a 16-year veteran of Sony PlayStation. Her filing says there\u2019s a lack of women considered for senior roles during \u201ccalibration sessions,\u201d citing that during one session, only four women were considered for promotions compared to almost 70 men that were considered. Harrington says she heard comments about female candidates’ family lives in those sessions that weren\u2019t made for applicable male candidates, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another one of the candidates said a third-party study found \u201ca great imbalance in terms of employee distribution\u201d amongst her team. Another, former program manager Kara Johnson, said, \u201cI believe Sony is not equipped to appropriately handle toxic environments,\u201d in her court filing, according to Axios<\/em>. Johnson also reportedly shared a letter she sent to female employees upon her departure from Sony that talked about multiple attempts to notify superiors about gender bias, discrimination against pregnant women, and resistance from a senior man in human resources to properly act on these claims.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sony\u2019s request for this lawsuit to be dismissed won\u2019t be addressed until a hearing next month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
