Tech companies are notoriously dominated by white men, as we've learned from their various diversity reports in the past year. Many firms have pledged to do better, citing the way inclusion fosters creativity and innovation.
"This Monday only a handful of technology companies will close their doors and honor the King Holiday," Jackson said in an open letter to the tech industry. "It does not make sense to tout diversity and inclusion, to promote change and innovation and not recognize the King Holiday."

I’d give my employees (if I had any employees) Arbor Day off before I’d give them mlk day. That way they could go out and hug a tree if they want to.

When I worked for a cable TV company back in the day...they dropped Vets day for MLK. I always made Vets day a mandatory floating holiday for my staff.

He wants ‘em to make diversity hires, and then increase the number of holidays. Actually, the companies will have to work harder if they accept entitled employees (who feel that way about it) to make up for the lack of effort.

I’m celebrating Robert E. Lee’s birthday today.
To: MeshugeMikey
Fu*k Martin Luther king and the horse he rode in on.
Today is the birthday of Robert E. Lee. I took my paid holiday and drove over to Stratford Hall where he was born.
Beautiful day for the drive.

We’re keeping the black man down at my office, since we’re all here (except for the few that are attending SHOT show this week, but they’re working too). Isn’t that what’s being implied?
To: MeshugeMikey
I observe it.
I observe there’s a whole lot less traffic on my way to work........................
