A man has claimed he was discriminated against when applying for a job, after he turned up for the interview and found he’d briefly dated the interviewer.
The woman, whom Pierre Ngog dated almost eight years prior, terminated the interview, claiming she felt unsafe around Ngog because he’d allegedly sent her a series of abusive messages after their two dates.
Ngog later turned to the Human Rights Review Tribunal, claiming he was discriminated against because of his relationship with the woman and also because of his race.
According to a recently released ruling from the tribunal, Ngog had applied for a job at the tourism company and was shortlisted for an in-person interview.
