US Company Fires Indian-Origin Lawyer Over Consensual Relationship with CEO

An Indian-American corporate lawyer has been fired by a Silicon Valley-based company over a consensual relationship with her CEO.

The company, which has not been named publicly, said that the lawyer's actions violated its policies against "relationships that could lead to conflicts of interest or create a hostile work environment."

The woman, who has also not been named, has denied any wrongdoing and said that she is being "unfairly targeted" because of her gender and Indian origin. The woman's lawyer has said that he plans to file a discrimination lawsuit against the company.

The case has raised questions about the treatment of women and minorities in Silicon Valley, where Indian-Americans make up a large part of the tech workforce.

According to a recent study by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Indian-Americans are more likely to experience discrimination in employment than any other Asian subgroup.

The study found that Indian-Americans are more likely to be hired for lower-paying jobs, denied promotions, and terminated without cause than their white counterparts.

The woman's lawyer has said that he believes the company's decision to fire her was motivated by discrimination.

He said that the company had failed to show that the woman's relationship with the CEO had actually created a conflict of interest or a hostile work environment.

The company has declined to comment on the specific allegations made by the woman's lawyer.

The company has said that it is committed to providing a workplace that is free from discrimination and harassment.

The company said that it will investigate any allegations of discrimination or harassment that are brought to its attention.
