Citi Worker Loses Employment Case Over Racist Comment Dismissal

A former Citigroup Inc. employee who allegedly said it was a “nightmare” to work with Indians during an job interview was dismissed lawfully, a London judge ruled throwing out all claims that she was discriminated against.

Ann Watson, who worked as a senior vice president in the Finance Solutions Group, made a “racist and offensive” comment, the London employment tribunal judge ruled on Friday. Employment Judge Safia Iman also rejected Watson’s claim that the offensive comment were caused due to long Covid-19 and menopausal symptoms.
