Dinner at famed Japanese restaurant Nobu was followed by a trip to a nightclub — then a co-worker’s visit to a hospital, lawsuit says.
But Dorrian claims in a lawsuit against the San Jose technology giant that what happened in Sin City that could have led to his firing remains a mystery to him.For almost two decades, Dorrian “devoted his career to advancing Cisco’s software products and solutions” and he played a key role in generating hundreds of millions of dollars in sales for the company, the wrongful-termination and whistleblower-retaliation lawsuit filed Nov. 1 in Santa Clara County Superior Court said.
And on the night of June 3, Dorrian went to famed Japanese restaurant Nobu with some two dozen other Cisco workers, for a dinner sponsored by a Cisco partner company. Dorrian, throughout the night, “handled himself professionally at all times and had no personal incidents,” but at the end of the month, he “became the subject of a targeted inquiry” by Cisco, the lawsuit claimed. A senior human relations representative called him and “launched into questions” about whether there had been “excessive drinking” or “inappropriate behavior” on the Vegas trip, and demanded details about the incident involving his injured colleague, the lawsuit alleged.
“To this date, Mr. Dorrian remains in the dark about why he was abruptly ousted from a company where he had spent two decades building his career,” the lawsuit claimed. “Had he been given the opportunity, he could have easily pointed to numerous individuals who would have vouched for his behavior during the Cisco Live event, confirming that he did nothing wrong.”
