Synopsis Grievant is employed by Respondent as an Accounting Technician 3. Grievant asserts nepotism, favoritism, and discrimination by Respondent’s Chief Financial Officer. The issue of nepotism is moot as the employee at issue is no longer employed by Respondent. Grievant failed to prove she was the victim of discrimination or favoritism as Grievant failed to prove she and the compared employee were similarly situated. Accordingly, the grievance is denied.
