The law is on the side of the employee.
Supervisors have to prove their innocence. Read below line
As many employees as Oracle has harassed, it’s good thing Company had billions. It would cost to pay out all for decades.
Those that were held back from promotion due to favoritism instead of merit wouid have loss of wages. If a manager steels an employees work gets promoted because of the work I.e., manager did not get promoted for 13 years then he stole work and got 2 patents and a publication in the same period that he was promoted. It’s clear that because of the patents, the work stolen got him promoted.
Orginal inventor needs to see an employment attorney. Loss of compensation for 5* years would be a nice retirement and well deserved.

Harassment is a form of employment discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, (ADEA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, (ADA).
Employer Liability for Harassment
The employer is automatically liable for harassment by a supervisor that results in a negative employment action such as termination, failure to promote or hire, and loss of wages. If the supervisor's harassment results in a hostile work environment, the employer can avoid liability only if it can prove that: 1) it reasonably tried to prevent and promptly correct the harassing behavior; and 2) the employee unreasonably failed to take advantage of any preventive or corrective opportunities provided by the employer.
