Hermanson v. Novo Nordisk CA2/8
After being terminated from her employment as a diabetes care specialist with Novo Nordisk, Inc. (NNI), Nicole Marie Hermanson brought this action against NNI and her former supervisor Sarah McLeish (collectively respondents) alleging 10 causes of action related to respondents’ termination decision and their conduct prior to termination. The gist of her claims was that after she questioned a work assignment by McLeish, which Hermanson believed was contrary to NNI’s policies, McLeish retaliated against her, caused her to become disabled, and refused to accommodate her disability. The basis for her gender discrimination and harassment claims is less clear, apart from a general claim that McLeish, a woman, felt threatened by other competent women and preferred to work with men. Respondents moved for and were granted summary judgment on Hermanson’s complaint.
Hermanson now appeals the trial court’s order granting summary judgment.
