Twenty-year-old Jazz Araquel remembers her three years at the makeup counter of Macy's as filled with constant ridicule and harassment by her co-workers. She claims she was verbally abused, ejected from the women's restroom, unfairly criticized by her managers, saddled with extra work duties, and repeatedly passed up for promotion. Araquel complained to management, she says, but they did nothing. Then after three years, Macy's says Araquel ended up cussing out her supervisors — so they fired her for insubordination. Now Araquel's suing. But could all this have been avoided if (and I cannot believe I'm suggesting this) Macy's had been a bit more like American Eagle?
