BLOOMINGTON – A woman who says she was a State Farm employee has teamed up with Attorney Ben Crump and filed a lawsuit against the company — alleging she was terminated because of complaining of the company’s “rampant culture of racism and discrimination.”
Shashi Mandhyan says she confronted the company’s culture of racism, discrimination and retaliation “day-in-and-day-out” throughout the course of her employment.
She also alleges shockingly harassing, abusive and hostile conduct towards her by her direct manager and supervisor in the bank originations department.
Mandhyan says she had been an employee for 19 years before she was terminated.
She is demanding a jury trial and is demanding damages exceed $50,000.
