LEGAL FILE
Stripped of His Job: A legal secretary for Bank of America in San Francisco was fired after his supervisors learned he worked as a gay stripper during his off hours, according to a wrongful termination lawsuit filed Monday. Michael Thomasson, 32, was an “exemplary employee†who had received a merit raise two months before he was fired, his attorney said. A co-worker found a personal letter Thomasson had written to a friend on a company computer that referred to his job as an exotic dancer, and several bank employees, including Thomasson’s superiors, went to see him perform without his knowledge. Two weeks later, the lawsuit alleges, Thomasson was dismissed.
