Nope, this Rachel girl is suing the Canucks for firing her from her job because she claims that they discriminated against her on the basis of her gender and mental illness. She claims that the Canucks know about her diagnosis of PTSD during her job interview with management.
These are the key points that I read from the article in this thread:
The article was written by her friend, Patrick Johnston. Johnston had texted Doerrie statements made by Canucks head coach Bruce Boudreau, complimenting Doerrie’s abilities.
When Doerrie said this to Castonguay, the document alleges that Castonguay responded saying, “You’re not important enough to be cared about,” and “no one in the media is your friend.”
“Castonguay told Ms. Doerrie: ‘I dont know if you have what it takes to do the job, mentally,” the document added.
Doerrie claims the comment about her mental well-being was related to her long-standing diagnosis with a mental illness.
Doerrie was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) in 2018, with associated panic and anxiety attacks and depression. She also lives with the heart condition vasovagal syncope and a leaky heart valve.
Before being hired by the Canucks, Doerrie says she “disclosed her mental and physical disability to them in the interview process, including details of ‘triggers’ and how her illness presented themselves.”
After the conversation with Castonguay, the document says Doerrie’s conditions were triggered
In other words, this Rachel girl is claiming that Castonguay's comments about her "mental ability" to do the job triggered PTSD.
Hmm, that is a far stretch of a claim for this Rachel girl to say that Castonguay's words triggered PTSD to happen again for her IMO.
I am not a psychiatrist, a mental health medical professional. It does sound, however, like the big burden of proof is on Rachel to prove that Castonguay discriminated against her based on her "mental well being"
AND that the assistant GM's comments triggered PTSD in her again.
The Canucks are arguing that this Rachel girl disclosed confidential information about her promotion to her friend in the media. She violated privacy rules.
