" I am confident they would not have canned Harold Ford had there not been compelling evidence of sexual harassment."

BHO Buddy fmr MA gov. Deval Patrick made his bucks by being an incompetent Harvard Law AA grad suing a couple of MNCs that hired him.

Once they realized what boob he was, they had to pay him off to get rid of him after he pulled out his "Race Card".

Naturally, Bill Clinton hired him for the DOJ, and his political career opening was set.

If Ford does sue, I bet more sh!t comes out.

I don’t think it would be wise.

And months ago they were calling Mike Pence an old fashioned square and laughing at him.

It’s hard for any large private corporation to fire any employee for cause;these companies are the deep pockets for which scumbag lawyers lust.

A company like Morgan Stanley has a large HR department with lots of attorneys, and they probably have a strict multi-step employee disciplinary policy. There’s a good chance Ford has been disciplined previously for similar bad behavior. He was probably on probation, and then the straw which broke the camel’s back was this latest accusation.

I am sure it took Morgan Stanley years to go through the required disciplinary steps and documentation in order to safely terminate Ford for cause.

My guess is MS has a written file on the issue from years ago. At that time, I believe they did not terminate him because he is black and perhaps he makes them money.

I retired from a large electronics company in Texas. I am familiar with the procedures you mention.

They knew they were dealing with a black employee who would likely scream “RACIST” if he was terminated for bad conduct. I am confident they would not have canned Harold Ford had there not been compelling evidence of sexual harassment.

I'm thinking especially a high-profile employer like Ford.

What the heck did he know about investment banking anyway?

It seems like big companies get saddled with Dem no-things,people that have no knowledge about business or creating thing. I’m sure there was someone who thought milking their connections must be worth something but then they just hang there sucking up resources. I wonder if there was a sense of relief when they could finally fire him.

No. You previously stated your opinion of the Ford’s. I agree.
