A Phoenix Suns senior employee resigned last month after she alleged that she was the target of bullying and retaliation by her superiors after she raised concerns about gender equity and misconduct, according to ESPN’s Baxter Holmes.
The woman in question started working for the Suns in 2007, and had been the team’s senior premium experience manager for more than eight years before she resigned nearly a month ago. In her resignation letter, which she emailed to 16 members of the team’s ownership group, she challenged them to address the team’s toxic and misogynistic workplace culture — which is what is currently under investigation by the league.
