“People are doing very well on these contracts. I have to get mine. Where are my crumbs?” Pearson allegedly told retired NYPD sergeant Michael Ferrari, who filed the lawsuit, and another staffer, according to the complaint.The suit is the second to be filed this year accusing Pearson of harassment and retaliation and provides further clues into the inner workings of the Mayor’s Office of Municipal Services Assessment that he led.
“The hostile work environment surrounding the sexual harassment carried over to every member of the team regardless of gender,” the complaint read. After a blowup with another leader in the office over allegations of sexual harassment, Ferrari said in the complaint he asked to transfer out of the services assessment unit and was subsequently demoted back to patrol. With his career derailed, he alleges, he retired from the NYPD.“We hold all public servants to the highest standards,” mayoral spokesperson Kayla Mamelak Altus said in a statement.
