Victoria "Alexis" Robert has filed a lawsuit against Montrose Environmental Group, Inc., alleging workplace discrimination and retaliation. The complaint was filed on October 10, 2024, in the District Court for Harris County, Texas. Robert accuses her former employer of various discriminatory practices and wrongful termination.

According to the lawsuit, Victoria "Alexis" Robert began working for Montrose Environmental Group as a Data Entry Specialist on October 23, 2023. During her tenure, she claims to have faced a hostile work environment orchestrated by her supervisor Oscar Sanchez and other employees. Despite being praised by clients like Lubrizol for her performance, Robert alleges that Sanchez submitted fraudulent reports and attempted to blame her for his shortcomings. Her complaints about these issues were reportedly ignored by the company's management.

Robert further claims that after reporting these issues to Human Resources on March 19, 2024, she was subjected to retaliatory actions such as unwarranted disciplinary warnings and increased harassment from Sanchez. She alleges that this culminated in her wrongful termination on March 21, 2024. In addition to racial discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Texas Labor Code Chapter 21, Robert's lawsuit includes allegations of national origin discrimination and disability discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The plaintiff is seeking monetary relief exceeding $250,000 but not more than $1 million. She is also requesting compensatory damages for emotional distress and economic losses, punitive damages for willful misconduct by Montrose Environmental Group, as well as attorney’s fees and court costs.

Representing Victoria "Alexis" Robert are attorneys whose names are not specified in the document. The case is presided over by Judge Marilyn Burgess in Harris County District Court under Case ID: 2024-70652.
