Suddaby preserves the bulk of an employment discrimination and retaliation complaint brought by a Black female director who sued Excellus BlueCross BlueShield on allegations that it treated her unfavorably because of her race and gender and subsequently fired her in retaliation for her complaints regarding the treatment. The court finds she plausibly alleges that her predecessor, a white man, was treated more favorably than her even though certain decisions he made allegedly cost the company millions of dollars. As well, her allegations that she was fired only a month after she expressed complaints she was being treated differently on the basis of her race, such as being excluded from important meetings and email chains, sufficiently buoys her claim for retaliation.
