Summary: Jeremy Perrott has filed a defamation lawsuit
against the giant McCann Worldgroup and other PG network for unlawful
termination of employment. The plaintiff regards as unjust corporate culture
for her has been fired on the baseless accusation. Some of the accusation
thrown to the plaintoff my the defendant are using inappropriate language and speech
misconduct. However the defendant, McCann spokesperson stands strong on their
actions and claims to have been truthful with their employees. The defendant
finally confirmed after “investigation” that Perrott had a complained against
him in regards to code of conduct violation. Initially they refused to justify
the firing of Perrott when asked.
Action: Perrots right
as basic citizen was taken away and the court told McCann it would be “basic
decency” to identify the plaintiff’s accuser. The plaintiff is seeking
$25million and yet to be confirmed.
Review: The issue over
Perrott is seen to be severe and has injured the plaintiff in all aspects. The remarks
stated by McCann (inappropriate language usage, misconduct of speech decency
with woman, unable to justify the firing, false offence confirmation) have been
proven wrong for there was no evidence to support allegations. The unlawful
remarks was targeted to only one subject and eventually followed by Joe
Alexander, IPG-owned The Martin Agency’s former CCO who was fired under the
grounds of sexual harassment accusation by several women. The statements were
published and channelled through different medium and platform reaching out
massive internet users. Obviously, the defamation remarks has caused
reputational damage, emotional stress and disturbance, inappropriate term used
“pariah”, immediate sacked and to leave the country and snatch the right to
defend himself. Similar issue took place at IBM whereby firing veteran
employees to sustain the younger generation for a better performance [IBM
