Two Manhattan mean girls violated the golden rule of e-mail — if you’re going to make fun of a co-worker, don’t accidentally copy her on your nasty missives, a new lawsuit says.
Adrienne Thiery, 29, says her troubles began about a year after she was hired by the upscale Soho branding and design firm Slover and Company as an office manager in July 2015. The firm’s clients include Bath & Body Works and Wynn Las Vegas.
In May, the same month Thiery got a $12,000 bonus, she revealed to a co-worker that she had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, her discrimination suit says.
The Queens woman then told her bosses, who made fun of her disorder, the Manhattan Supreme Court suit says.
“Turns out that Adrienne told Jenn she has ADHD! ai yi yi!” exclaimed Rosemary Kuropat, the firm’s co-founder, according to a copy of a June 2 e-mail.
Kuropat’s more-diplomatic business partner, Susan Slover, replied, “It cannot be our problem and at a higher salary . . . It’s all very tiring,’’ the suit says.
Kuropat continued her teasing — and chided her business partner for her compassion, the suit states.
“This just shows you how much more empathetic YOU are than I!! I wasn’t suggesting we should be more sensitive . . . I was thinking . . . THE CHICK IS HOPELESS!” Kuropat wrote, according to court documents.
Thiery says in her suit that she was inadvertently included on the e-mails when her bosses had meant to copy her on an unrelated note to a vendor.
“I was humiliated,” Thiery said about reading the mean-spirited exchange. She was fired June 3 and now is suing the company and her two former bosses.
“They told me, ‘Now that I know you have ADHD, we’re firing you,’ ” Thiery alleged.
“They were saying ‘You should have told me. I wouldn’t have hired you.’ ”
Her lawyer, David Gottlieb of the law firm Wigdor LLP, said, “It is rare, in this day and age, to find a smoking gun where an employer actually documents its blatantly unlawful conduct.”
Kuropat told The Post, “The claims are baseless.”
She said Thiery was fired for her performance.
