To clarify: Cathy works a seasonal position. In theory, at the end of each year, she is laid off with no guarantee of re-hire.

Below, I will use "he" as shorthand for "her manager".

Did he talk to his boss before letting her go? If the management chain wasn't behind him, I'd call that proof of wrongful termination. Even if the management chain was behind him, it's questionable. If he admits to letting her go because of embarrassment, that's wrongful termination right there. He put the org in a position that looks compromised. Unless he did talk to his supervisor beforehand, I'd expect to see him get fired.

Was her manager's manager unable to move her to a different supervisor? This seems like the safest way to prevent bias.

If she documented it at the time, she has a pretty clear case for gender discrimination. The sooner she consults a lawyer, the better.

What the hell kind of government job has assault and sexual touching by clients as part of the job? Hookers???

You have hit the nail on the head. Poor Cathy, despite doing a wonderful job, has that job at the whim of someone not nearly as talented... and that someone exercises power over Cathy's ability to earn a living in the job she most wants to be in.

Sound familiar?
