Former Optus marketer Kerry Morrison has launched a legal action against the company alleging she suffered bullying within a “dysfucntional culture”, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.

Morrison was head of digital marketing, sales and service. Before that she spent a stint as marketing director at group buying site Cudo and prior to that was GM of marketing communications at Vodafone.

The SMH reports that Morrison is seeking $14.5m in damages.

A spokesman for Optus told Mumbrella: “Given this is the subject of legal proceedings, we are only able to confirm that we will vigorously defend our position against what we believe to be unjustified claims.”
