Meta sued for over $1 million after manager refused to back employee’s green card petition

A former Meta manager has sued the Facebook parent, alleging he was fired after refusing to sign a reference letter supporting an employee’s US green card petition because he believed some of the claims in it were inaccurate or unsupported.

James Tillinghast and his wife, Nancy Cuddy Tillinghast, filed the lawsuit against Meta Platforms, Tillinghast’s former manager Bolan Wang and unnamed defendants in the US District Court for the District of New Jersey on August 17.
