A settlement has been reached in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Lori McInerney against CareerBuilder, according to a filing on June 30 with the federal court.
A court hearing to hear a report on settlement documentation has been scheduled for Aug. 4, but that may be canceled if the parties in the lawsuit file a stipulation of dismissal before that time.
The filing on June 30 did not contain details of the settlement.
McInerney’s lawsuit claimed the company turned a blind eye toward sexual harassment and bullying of women.
“For more than a decade Lori McInerney had a successful career and was a highly valued, upper management employee at CareerBuilder,” according to the complaint in the lawsuit. “During that time and as experienced by most other women employed by CareerBuilder, McInerney endured a corporate culture which turned a blind eye towards the sexual harassment, discrimination and bullying of women employees.”
McInerney had worked at CareerBuilder starting in September 2002 and held roles that included regional sales director, director of strategic initiatives and director of marketing. The lawsuit was filed in 2018.
