London-based Cassandra Vinograd claims she asked to be protected from retaliation from her boss Michael Gavshon, 63, after she received 'an old photo of Gavshon and some friends urinating on what appeared to be smoldering coal' and expressed concerns about his 'excessive drinking'. In the lawsuit she cites 'unlawful discriminatory conduct' and 'unlawful retaliatory conduct', as she alleges the company punished her almost immediately after she 'emailed senior executives and the general counsel, to describe her serious concerns regarding "highly inappropriate, unprofessional and upsetting events"'.
