She says she begged HR for a transfer - and kept working beside the man she accused
Her boss harassed her for months, a new lawsuit says - and HR did nothing to stop it.
That allegation sits at the center of a complaint filed June 3, 2026, in Manhattan federal court against Compass Group USA and its operating company, CulinArt. The plaintiff, suing anonymously as Jane Doe, brings claims of sexual harassment, a hostile work environment, retaliation, and constructive discharge under Title VII, the New York State Human Rights Law, and the New York City Human Rights Law, along with assault and battery.
For HR leaders, the story is less about the relationship at its center than about what the complaint says happened every time the worker spoke up.
According to the filing, she was hired in December 2024 as a Room Service Associate at a Memorial Sloan Kettering cancer-care center, earning about $22.50 an hour. Her supervisor, the complaint alleges, began closely shadowing her during her first training shifts. The filing says he told her that other staff had wanted her hired because of her appearance, and that she later felt pressured to enter a relationship with him after he signaled she owed him for the job. The plaintiff alleges the relationship "quickly turned unhealthy and abusive," with the supervisor punishing her at work whenever they argued. He is not named as a defendant in the case.
