TikTok, one of the most popular applications of recent years, is now facing a lawsuit. And it’s a former manager who filed the lawsuit. So why did one of TikTok’s top female employees file a lawsuit against TikTok?

Lawsuit against TikTok due to age and gender discrimination!

Katie Ellen Puris, who took her place among TikTok employees in 2019, quickly reached high positions in the company. Puris, who added his marketing skills to TikTok for companies such as Google and Facebook, has recently parted ways with TikTok. Claiming that there was serious discrimination within the company, Puris stated that he was treated differently due to his age.

Stating that ByteDance, which owns TikTok, took control of the company, Puris stated that women in the company were unfairly dismissed. Claimant Puris, who reported that he received negative feedback from ByteDance due to his age and willingness to talk, said that TikTok wanted to work with younger employees. Believing that they will bring more new ideas, the company also thinks that young employees can be managed more easily, according to rumors.

Katie Ellen Puris, who explained how she tried to deal with problems such as sexual harassment and pressure during her time working at TikTok, lost her job at TikTok with the lawsuit she filed. In this case, we can say that the case filed by Puris has moved to a more serious place.

Every company has problems both on the management and employee side. However, it is not right for even managers to be dismissed or put under pressure because they are women or elderly. If he is right in his claims, Puris could deal a major blow to ByteDance. Or this situation may completely remove the pressure that the company puts on employees. Let’s see how TikTok will deal with this case.
