Woman's statement on why she was fired.
From Valor Guardians
So I normally don’t do this on Tic Tok but today I am livid. So I
want your opinion to see if this kind of thing is justified.
So I work at a retail store and I’ve worked there now for like a
year and a half. Well, I’m moving these racks and I didn’t want to hit anyone.
So I kind of looked to each side to see if anyone’s on the other side to see if
I can move it.
Well, I look this way and I end up seeing someone. So I stop and I
don’t move it. Well, she instantly looks at me and says, “Can I help you with
something?” And I’m like, “Oh, no, I’m sorry, I was just going to move the rack
and I want to make sure I didn’t hit anyone.”
Well, then, she says, “I want to put a corporate complaint against
you for racial profiling,” because apparently I looked at her the wrong way and
was assuming she didn’t have money.
I would never just assume someone doesn’t have money by what they
look like. That is stupid. Well, I had to give a whole statement about the
thing and overall they called me up today and fired me due to me looking at
someone and being racist.
So, do you think that’s justified or do you think that’s
wrongful termination? Because I’m pissed.

I am skeptical.
ReplyDeleteI work for a large corporation and I have been involved with investigating plenty of "racism" allegations.
From my experience, it's about 10 to 1 of "it didn't happen the way the complainant stated" to "something actually did happen".
The accuser in this case said "corporate complaint" so I will presume this wasn't a mom and pop business. I would have a hard time believing that she would be fired for what she described.
If what she stated was correct, she'd had a good case to get her job back.
Matthew, what you say concerning a reason for firing is correct in a logical world, but people have been fired for less in this brave new world.
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt, people have been fired for less substantial raaaaacism claims, but we should all be skeptical of any story on the internet whether it aligns with "our" ideas or "theirs."
