    Ha ha…nice stereotypical suit against the beer company. Who wouldn’t believe that an alcohol manufacturer would have a ‘frat party atmosphere?’ I bet Duffman himself was in the boardroom dumping buckets of water on the female boardmembers’ shirts.

    Or maybe she was just one of the AB people that got kicked out when InBev bought the company and now she wants to stir the s*it.

    I’m going to suspend disbelief and say it’s the first one so I can laugh about it some more.

    I’m not normally an AB beer drinker, but I have fallen in like with the new Michelob Golden Light.

    This “woman” spent 20 years of her life as a “top executive” on the payroll and suddenly the company becomes a piece of crap? Talk about biting the hand that fees you. It couldn’t have been that bad or why did she stay? Maybe she’s a malcontent loser who couldn’t find a better job elsewhere.

    this just plain disgusts me that in this day and age we still have to go to court when people should treat us with respect. When will society wake up to how evil we treat women and children and animals

    Unfortunately, many women will not speak up because they are afraid of the consequences from others who do not understand the big picture. It takes courage and guts to come forward and identify an injustice to yourself or others. Glad she had the strength to speak up.

    Uh, maybe it’s because she didn’t realize how much less she was making until the company was sold. Read the article…

    Maybe she worked 20 years to feed her family and put kids in college. Now, that they can not fire her, she is going after what she should have had in the first place! Shame on that company and the men who run it!

    Why is it always assumed women are treated badly in corporate America by men? I’m a Caucasian male. My last two managers have been women who are less qualified than I am and make more money ….God help me.

    Considering your comments, I wouldn’t be so sure that they actually WERE less qualified than you…

    Just a thought but she had 20 years worth of raises based upon her performance in the job. Maybe her predecessor performed better than she did and got larger raises. He may have been there 30 years. There are so many reasons why one person would make more than another even in the same job. Maybe she doesn’t know the big picture either and is making a knee jerk reaction to seeing a document that may have been taken out of context. Just a thought. If she was paid less just due to being female then she should sue.

    this whole thing is very shocking. i wasn’t aware that women could vote or own property much less file a law suit. please tell me this wasn’t the “change” that BHO promised!

    i worked for this company for 7 years parttime and it is true they treat ladies like slaves, especially black women- it is obviouss that that it is a prerequisite to be prejudice TO work there. Especially black females, they are mentally harrassed and emoitionally abused!

    ok crowd: here’s your Report Card.
    Enrico is right-on !
    And Bud tastes like…well the word rhymes with “bliss”.
    Hey Rosie:..chil-out, woman..is your last-name “O Donnell” ?
    WK: ..-you’re ok, it’s possible.
    Roosevelt: I hear you loud & clear. Add my “me-too” to your experience.
    Cathy: You’d better be right. Sounds like you could get more moolah than anyone.
    After all, you’re in a good place these days if you’re a single (or divorced) or better..gay, black female with children & maybe a handicap..-ANY bank would welcome you in to loanville.
    This don’t happen if you’re a “cauc”
    Lastly, try Yueng Ling Lager Beer
    It’s THAT good.

    My husband works for AB and hasn’t seen or heard any of this non-sense of “they treat men better than women”.

    Having worked in corporations for 20 years, I know that many, many, many women get promoted because they are women and not because they are qualified. Time into a company does not equal a ton of money- especially if you suck at your job.
