The Outback Steakhouse restaurant chain was sued Friday by the EEOC, which accused the company of denying women job opportunities and training needed to reach top management jobs. To be considered for those jobs, workers need to have varied assignments, especially in the kitchen, the suit states. But qualified women were denied those posts and passed over for less qualified males. The case "turns on its head the stereotype that women should 'stay in the kitchen,'" an EEOC attorney said in a statement.
