A former research scientist alleges in a lawsuit against Eli Lilly and Co. that he was harassed and discriminated against because he is gay.
Jeffrey A. Willy says he “endured harassment, a hostile work environment, and discrimination.” He left the company in September 2018. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Indianapolis.
In one allegation Willy says a supervisor spoke derisively of homosexuals and used a homophobic slur.
