in 2020. But now, there are concerns about how Yao handled allegations of sexual harassment at her previous post that could jeopardize her position., former employees accused Yao of being “tolerant of boorish, sexually inappropriate behavior by male employees, of failing to take appropriate steps when complaints were reported to her, and of being retaliatory against those who reported harassment allegations.

She added that the employees behind the wrongful termination suits were fired due to “severe budget pressures.” But another worker recorded audio of the February 2019 staff meeting where Yao spoke about the termination of two employees and claimed the decision “has nothing to do with our financial standing. We’re doing really, really well.”
