A judge reduced the amount of money that the company will have to pay to a former employee who successfully sued them for discrimination.

In October of last year, a jury awarded $137 million in damages to Owen Diaz, who worked as an elevator operator at the company for nine months, after he accused the company of ignoring racial abuse and discrimination.

On Wednesday, US District Judge William Orrick slashed the jury's award by nearly 90 percent, saying that it was excessive and that he had rejected the case.

In his ruling, Orrick said that the effect of the discrimination was profound and that the attempts to deny his experiences made him water down revisionism.
