Jo-Ann Campbell is suing her former employer, IntelliSoft Group of Nashua, a software company, because she says after her diagnosis of breast cancer they made the work environment uncomfortable -- and then they fired her. According to the lawsuit, Campbell said Mary D'Amelio, the wife of the company's chief executive officer, John D'Amelio, told her she shouldn't be considered full time and should be reduced to part time, and Mary D'Amelio went on to tell her she was costing the company $10,000 dollars.
During breast cancer surgery and radiation treatment, Campbell said she was keeping up with the workload. Eventually, she was terminated. Campbell was a senior trainer who earned $55,000 a year. IntelliSoft denies she was discriminated against in any way and states they fully expect to win the lawsuit. You can read more details of the story here.
