NEW YORK (AP) - A New York woman suing her former employer says she was fired because of her mistreatment of a piece of birthday cake in the office refrigerator.
Nicole Brunner filed a lawsuit against the Madwell ad agency for unspecified damages, saying the company unfairly fired her.
Brunner told the New York Post (https://nyp.st/2pv1Tp8 ) that her ex-boyfriend, who was also employed at Madwell, threw a brick through her bedroom window after she broke up with him last year. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct but he wasn’t fired from the company.
Brunner then took a piece of his birthday cake from the office fridge, an incident that led him to confront Brunner. He was then fired from the agency.
Madwell says it fired Brunner for lying about taking the cake and then threatening another employee, which Brunner denies.
