Shake Shack agrees to dish out $20K to misgendered California employee

NYPD: 'No criminality' after three officers sickened by Shake Shack milkshakeA former Oakland-area Shake Shack employee is getting compensated after the fast food chain agreed to pay out a $20K settlement for misgendering that allegedly went unresolved at work.

"The California Civil Rights Department (CRD) has reached a pre-litigation settlement with nationwide chain restaurant Shake Shack, resolving a former employee’s complaint of discrimination, harassment and retaliation based on gender identity and gender expression," a Monday press release from the CRD read.

The release stated that the complainant, whose name was never disclosed, was trained in a San Francisco-area location before being assigned to work at the Oakland location where the complaints emerged.

Studies have found that Earth’s oceans have absorbed about 90% of the heat trapped on the planet from greenhouse gas emissions since 1970.
