The Pentagon’s top weapons buyer declined to impose disciplinary action recommended by the inspector general against Leidos Holdings Inc. for allegedly retaliating against a woman who complained of a hostile work environment at a subcontractor.
Ellen Lord, the under secretary of defense for acquisition, “disagreed with the substantiation of the complaint and declined to take further action,” Inspector General Glenn Fine’s office disclosed Tuesday in its latest semiannual report.
