Two decades of service, 12 counts, and a termination letter that gave no reason
A stock supervisor with more than 22 years at Gucci says the company fired him three days after his approved medical leave ended.
That claim sits at the center of a first amended complaint filed August 14, 2026 in the US District Court for the District of New Jersey. It names Gucci America, Inc., an operations manager sued individually, and a group of unidentified corporate and individual defendants. The filing runs to 12 counts. They arise under New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination, the state anti-discrimination statute known as the NJLAD, along with Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act, the federal law giving eligible employees job-protected medical leave.
Gucci hired the worker on or about December 10, 2001 as a stock associate at its store in Short Hills, New Jersey, according to the complaint. Over more than 22 years he moved up to stock supervisor and lead team coordinator. He processed shipments, ran cycle counts, directed team coordinators and sales associates, and acted as an extension of management when the operations manager was absent.
From about 2022, after changes in store management, the complaint alleges he was subjected to "increasingly hostile, demeaning, and discriminatory treatment." It alleges the operations manager "made and participated in discriminatory and demeaning comments"...
