被指控性别歧视，Pinterest付出2000万美元代价
Pinterest支付了2000万美元就前首席运营官弗朗索瓦斯•布鲁尔提起的性别歧视诉讼与其达成和解。
Pinterest的发言人证实，公司还向提升科技行业女性代表性的一系列计划投资250万美元。公司承认在和解期间并无不当行为。
Pinterest在与布鲁尔发布的一份联合声明中表示：“弗朗索瓦斯欢迎Pinterest为改善工作环境所采取的有意义的措施，并对Pinterest致力于建立一种让所有员工感到被包容和支持的文化感到鼓舞。”
布鲁尔声称，她是因为抱怨遭受性别歧视后被公司解雇的。该高管还表示，尽管她是公司的第二大高管，但她的薪酬比同龄男性高管低，并且被排除在Pinterest的首次公开募股（IPO）程序之外。她说，首席执行官本•西尔伯曼在作决定时，只会倾听男性的意见，不会听取女性的意见。
布鲁尔此前曾经表示，她已经准备好将此案交由法院审理。今年8月，她说：“虽然我有职位，但我无权也未被授权凭借我的才能推动Pinterest向前发展。”
伊索玛•奥佐玛和艾瑞卡•什米朱•班克斯是曾经在Pinterest政策团队担任要职的两位黑人女性（今年5月底辞职），她们发表公开声明后，布鲁尔深受鼓舞，挺身而出。伊索玛•奥佐玛和艾瑞卡•什米朱•班克斯还表示，她们的薪酬过低，她们向公司的人力资源部投诉她们遭到了歧视，但人力资源部不予理会。Pinterest表示，公司已经就这些情况进行了调查，并未发现任何不当行为。
自此以后，Pinterest在董事会中增加了各类董事，并采取措施改进了公司的员工聘用流程和薪酬制度。（财富中文网）

Pinterest paid $20 million to settle a legal case with Francoise Brougher, its former chief operating officer, who alleged gender discrimination.
The company is also investing $2.5 million in programs to improve representation in the technology industry, a Pinterest spokeswoman confirmed. It admitted no wrongdoing in the settlement.
“Francoise welcomes the meaningful steps Pinterest has taken to improve its workplace environment and is encouraged that Pinterest is committed to building a culture that allows all employees to feel included and supported,” Pinterest said in a joint statement with Brougher.
Brougher alleged that she was fired for speaking out about discrimination. The executive also said she was paid less than male peers and was left out of Pinterest’s initial public offering process despite her role as the No. 2 executive. She portrayed CEO Ben Silbermann as a leader who relied on the same group of men to make decisions and did not listen to different voices.
She had previously said she was prepared to take the case to trial. “While I was given a seat at the table, I had no power or I was not empowered to use my talent to drive Pinterest forward,” she said in August.
Brougher was encouraged to come forward after public statements by two Black women who left important jobs on Pinterest’s policy team in late May. The women, Ifeoma Ozoma and Aerica Shimizu Banks, also said they were underpaid and had their discrimination concerns dismissed by the company’s human resources department. Pinterest has said it investigated those cases and found no wrongdoing.
Since then, Pinterest has added more diverse directors to its board and taken steps to improve its process for hiring and compensating employees.
