The article discusses a lawsuit filed by Plaintiff Mercurio against SDAR, alleging wrongful termination and seeking damages. Following Mercurio's firing, former executives claimed they faced retaliation for raising concerns about his alleged misuses of company resources, totaling $1 million in fraud. Mercurio's counter-suit states that an investigation cleared him of these allegations, emphasizing that criticisms revolved around his managerial style rather than any misconduct. He also alleges breaches of contract and discriminatory conduct from SDAR's senior members, seeking to vindicate his reputation and recover owed wages.
'In his wrongful termination suit, Mercurio claims that SDAR's board confirmed after an investigation that he had not committed payroll fraud, self-dealing or intentionally falsified expense reports.'
'The complaint states that the criticisms against Plaintiff were subjective complaints about his managerial style, which had been long known and previously condoned by the Performance Review Committee.'
