A former employee of high-end Santa Clara department store Bloomingdale’s alleges in a new lawsuit that she was sexually harassed, then forced by a security manager to delete from her phone a co-worker’s request for nude photos.
Lauren Hanson claims the alleged abuses started a few weeks after she began employment in June as a registry supervisor for the store in the upscale Westfield Valley Fair mall, when her supervisor told her she needed a stricter dress code than other workers because she was “drawing attention to herself as a woman”.
