Workplace Discrimination
Conduct Screen Corporate Misconduct
Documented systemic discrimination in hiring, pay, promotion, or workplace conditions — racial discrimination, gender pay gaps, disability discrimination, anti-LGBTQ+ policies, age discrimination, and hostile work environments. Escalating threshold: one allegation is alarming and merits observation; two allegations with independent plaintiffs are potentially dispositive; three or more isolated incidents with unrelated plaintiffs showing the same fact pattern is dispositive of a systemic problem. Recency matters — companies can heal from historical discrimination if reforms are genuine and sustained. Distinct from worker_exploitation (wage/hour theft) and working_conditions (physical safety).
