Former Meta Manager Sues Over Immigration Letter Dispute and Termination
Former Meta product design manager James Tillinghast has filed a lawsuit alleging wrongful termination after refusing to sign an immigration support letter he believed exaggerated a colleague's contributions. The letter claimed the colleague generated $638 million in revenue and led key AI projects. Tillinghast revised the letter to reflect only truthful statements but was reportedly replaced by another manager who signed it. The lawsuit also alleges unequal immigration assistance among employees of different national backgrounds.
