A former Microsoft Corp. manager fired for allegedly kissing a colleague at a conference, and then lying about the incident, sued the company in a London court.
Simon Negus, a partner and general manager at Microsoft’s U.K. unit until he was dismissed in September, filed the lawsuit on Aug. 3. The complaint followed one made by Microsoft in April against Negus, now chief operating officer of Upstream Systems, seeking to reclaim holiday pay and part of his signing on bonus.
