Woman Suing Bank Over A Chucky Doll

A Rocky Mount North Carolina woman is suing her former workplace over claims a supervisor intimidated her with a "Chucky" doll. 

During her last week of new hire training, at Truist Bank, Jones’s manager allegedly placed a Chucky doll in her office chair.

She's suing , saying she was so traumatized by that event she left for immediate medical treatment. The woman suffers from depression, anxiety, and an autoimmune disease, which her bosses knew at the time. She was on paid medical leave for 8 weeks.

She returned to work last August with an approved accommodation to leave work at 3 p.m. three days per week for treatment of the PTSD caused by seeing the Chucky doll.

On those days she began taking her hour lunch break at 2. Her performance review criticized that and said she would need to take an earlier lunch break preferably around 11 so she could return for 2 or 3 hours of work. When she refused management then said you'll have to leave at 4. She was told that the special accommodations she had been receiving the last few months was having a negative impact on coworkers who also were occasionally asking to leave early but had to be denied because she wasn't available to help in the afternoon. She was then allegedly told the job was not the “right fit” and that she could not “keep using her anxiety and emotional problems as an excuse to leave early 3 days a week.

The woman claims she was presented with a document that she needed to sign agreeing to work till at least 4p every day and if she didn't sign it she would be fired. She called in sick the next day and she was then fired. She is requesting a trial by jury and compensatory damages.
