Angela Mendoza sues Dr. Walter Jayasinghe

How many Sri Lankans have been fired and let go by Dr. Walter Jayasinghe was the first question that ran across my mind as I read the complaint filed by Ms. Mendoza on 12/12/2007. Case #BC382100 (you can find the details by clicking here). I will also be posting the entire complaint in pdf format as soon as I can obtain some funds to pay for it. In the compliant Ms. Mendoza alleges that she worked for Dr. Jayasinghe since 2002 and she was paid by various organization/entities owned by Dr. Walter Jayasinghe stating "...at the whim of defendant Jayasinghe, individually, dependent on cash flow and other unknown factors."

Ms. Mendoza also alleges that she was fired one week after she informed Dr. Jayasinghe of her pregnancy. Furthermore Ms. Mendoza also alleges that Dr. Jayasinghe made and oral contract with her. Seems like Dr. Jayasinghe loves oral contracts. I wonder why it is so difficult for him to sign a contract?

The complaint also quotes
Dilan/Delon Jayasinghe the son of Dr. Jayasinghe, stating "YOUR PREGNANT" "YOU CAN'T WORK HERE". Looks like a chip off the old block. Others even feel that Delon (Jayasinghe, Jayasinha - he changes his name frequently) is even more dangerous than his father. I for one has witnessed Dr. Jayasinghe lecturing Delon on ethics. Imagine that.

So how many Sri Lankan women have been fired in the is manner is the question at hand? and how many workers have been let go after all the verbal abuse and other types of abuse inflicted by Dr. Jayasinghe?

And if you ask around you might find out the circumstances of
Ms. Shirani Stanislaus in the cycle of firing/laying off employees. Even more interesting is how she obtained the position she has now in all of Dr. Jayasinghe's entities.
