Again, what the guy did was fine. The issue I have is ruining someone’s life because of a short video of two people having a private verbal altercation. Do you believe she should have lost her job because of this?
Her employer thought so. “Right to work” includes the right to fire racists -who threaten people with the police wrongfully, thereby committing a crime- at will. I wouldn’t want anyone who is a liar, a racist and a lawbreaker to have a damned thing to do with my portfolio.
To be fair, look at it the other way - if NYPD had shown up in a timely fashion, the black guy could have been shot by a trigger-happy cop. She deliberately used manipulative terms to cue up tension on the 911 call. Did the guy deserve to be shot?
She was stupid, arrogant and manipulative. And she was all of these ON VIDEO. Serious questions about her judgement capability at that point, especially on the part of an employer. Anyone stupid enough to do this crap, knowingly, on camera? Probably doesn’t need to be a manager in charge of millions of dollars of other people’s money.
Should also point out that she is (or was) in a special field where literally any poor conduct can get you fired - she worked at Franklin Templeton as a high-level funds manager. At that level, getting recorded (not arrested, just recorded) being drunk is enough to get you fired.
The way the lies so easily rolled off her tongue convinces me that losing her job is appropriate.
She worked at a financial advisor -- watching that video and then having her give me any advice would always lead to the question: "Is this best for me or best for her?" Not to mention that any black clients should immediately start to move their accounts to different advisors.
Now if she is any good at what she does she will need to take a pay cut and start over at some different company.
