Employee sues US bank for violating rights, causing mental trauma
- Former employee Debra Jones is suing Truist Bank in North Carolina for alleged violation of rights and causing mental trauma.
- Jones claims her manager placed a Chucky doll in her chair despite knowing about her doll phobia, worsening her mental health condition.
- The incident caused a psychological reaction in Jones, leading to disrupted attendance at work and requiring immediate treatment.
- Jones alleges her manager laughed at her reaction instead of being understanding and sympathetic.
- Due to the trauma, Jones, who was already suffering from depression and anxiety, was put on an eight-week medical leave.
- She received treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and faced discrimination and retaliation at work due to her disabilities.
- Jones was given special permission to accommodate her treatment schedule but claims she was later told to leave.
- Accusations of using anxiety issues as an excuse and the threat of termination led to panic attacks and further treatment for Jones.
- Jones now seeks compensation for the mental distress caused and the alleged breach of her rights as a disabled employee.
