Ex-AMDer claims Sanders, others discriminated agai

Walid Maghribi is taking AMD to court for discrimination in a San Jose court and said that the problems started after September 11th last year.

He is an Arab-American, says the San Jose Mercury News.

AMD denies the allegations, with Maghribi claiming that Sanders and soon to be CEO Hector Ruiz directly responsible for him resigning last December.

Maghribi earned over $6,000,000 at AMD as an executive in charge of memory.

The newspaper says that the complainant alleges that problems started at a meeting when October after Sanders asked him whether he was an Arab. After this meeting, he was, allegedly, treated badly and subjected to demeaning jokes, which directly caused a major business deal to fall through.
