Lawsuit | Google manager told issues she faced were due to 'everything going on with George Floyd'

A former Google manager has filed a lawsuit against the tech company claiming she was passed over for promotion due to her race and encountered “thinly vailed racist comments”.

Tiffany Minott, who worked as a project manager at Google, says she was consistently undervalued and undercompensated as a black employee at the firm.

Minott claims that despite “exceeding all expectations” set out by the company, she was repeatedly underappreciated while white colleagues with less experience and lower performance levels progressed.

The case

When appointed a new manager, Minott says she was overlooked for a newly created role, that would have given her a nearly £40,000 pay rise, for it to go to a white male colleague with less experience.
