Steve Teixeira sues Firefox maker alleging disability discrimination, retaliation
Mozilla Corporation was sued this month in the US, along with three of its executives, for alleged disability discrimination and retaliation against Chief Product Officer Steve Teixeira.
"Immediately, upon his return, Mozilla campaigned to demote or terminate Mr Teixeira citing groundless concerns and assumptions about his capabilities as an individual living with cancer," the says."Interim Chief Executive Officer Laura Chambers and Chief People Officer Dani were clear with Mr Teixeira: He could not continue as Chief Product Officer – and could not continue as a Mozilla employee in any capacity beyond 2024 – because of his diagnosis.
"The board decision to remove Ms Baker was so abrupt that they did not conduct a search for a successor, resulting in the naming of one of their own board members, Ms Chambers, as interim CEO," the complaint says. The following month, however, Teixeira is said to have told Chambers that he had been diagnosed with stage-four liver cancer and would need to undertake additional treatment. Thereafter, Chambers proposed moving Teixeira to a new role, SVP of Technology Strategy, which would last until the end of 2024, it is claimed. The position entailed a 40 percent pay cut and we're told Teixeira declined the demotion.
On May 23, 2024, Mozilla allegedly placed Teixeira on administrative leave and reassigned his direct reports to other executives. He is still listed on the Moz Corp
