An Arab-American who is a former employee of PricewaterhouseCoopers has filed suit against the firm, claiming he was terminated after he told an internal newsletter that he thought “there is room for improvement” in PwC’s diversity practices.
Issam Azziz, a 37-year-old who worked as a senior audit manager in the firm’s Tampa office, said he received a “performance note” from the firm three days after making the comments, which were not included in the newsletter. The performance note criticized the way he had treated subordinates, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
