A black IT worker at Genentech was awarded nearly $250,000 last week after a jury agreed his race-discrimination complaint was a factor in his firing.

Timothy Pruitt, 56, had worked at Genentech’s Vacaville office for 21 years, including three years as a contractor, before he was fired in 2017 by a manager who accused him of stealing half a sandwich and of falsifying his timecards.
