A 10-count $ 100 million dollar federal whistleblower lawsuit against Fidelity National Information Services on October 16, 2008 Case No 3:08-cv-986-J-34HTS was filed in the Middle District of United States District Courts Jacksonville Division. In the Amended Complaint, Lofton acknowledges ten separate Claims: First Claim -Employment Discrimination: Race; Second Claim - Failure to Prevent Discrimination; Third Claim - Retaliation; Fourth Claim - Encouraging violation of the FCRA; Fifth Claim - Negligent Hiring, Retention and Supervision; Sixth Claim - Violation of Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and Sarbanes-Oxley Act; Seventh Claim — Wrongful Termination in Violation of Public Policy and the Whistle Blower Act; Eighth Claim - Negligence Defamation; Ninth Claim — Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress; and Tenth Claim - Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress. In his complaint Lofton alleges that he was terminated on October 11, 2007 after he reported the violations of company and client policies on August 22, 2007. It is Lofton's complaint that he was denied the right to work from home in on or around July 2007 or before a non African American was allowed to do so. Lofton has alleged that his supervisor verbally assaulted him on August 24, 2007 after he reported the security compliance breaches. It is Lofton's argument that he was the recipient of disparate treatment from July of 2007 until his termination. Has anyone been fired by Fidelity?

I've not heard any update on this lawsuit. I believe managers should be held accountable for their actions.
