The Washington Examiner reached out to EPM for comment. About two hours after publication, the company released a statement that said Rolfe was fired because she violated company policy.

"As an employer, it is imperative to maintain a safe environment for all employees. Melissa Rolfe's termination was a director result of her actions in the workplace and violation of company policy," the statement said. "While working with Melissa as she transitioned to a leave of absence granted by our organization, we discovered she violated company policy and created an uncomfortable working environment for many of our employees. As an HR director, she ultimately lost the confidence of her peers, leadership, and many employees who no longer felt comfortable engaging with her. We value diversity of thought and respect Melissa's personal views and the views of all employees; however, when those views create a hostile working environment, we must make difficult decisions."

The statement did not say what Rolfe did to violate company policy.

A couple of hours before Carlson's report, EPM shared a message about "diversity and equity" in the workplace.

While she was on leave someone who knew her well knew her son’s affiliation with the police....

You folks have completely unrealistic ideas about dollar amounts in damages lawsuits. Much of America does, so you’re far from alone.
For some practical education at a low level on this, watch a couple weeks of Judge Judy.

Really? You know that JJ runs a small claims court right? Totally different ballgame from a real civil suit.

Also, most of the cases on JJ are totally fake. They are doing it to get on TV and get a free trip to LA. Plus the “loser” does not pay the damages - the TV show does.

“Other than Trump himself the entire GOP has become nothing but a bunch of gutless cowards.”

This.

I suspect she was being harassed verbally by the diversity people and when she verbally tried to fight back, she was found guilty of making others feel unsafe at work.

They respect all opinions, yeah except hers.

[I want the USA back]

So, she was fired for saying words in the defense of the cop. If she had said she wanted her stepson thrown in jail for life she would still have her job.

You can bet your prayer rug her employer monitored her every action and word.

My user name expresses an impossible wish.

"Maybe it could be as simple as putting a blue thin line little flag in her HR office"

Or just one of those stuck in her car window in the company parking lot...

I’ve seen real damages lawsuits as well, both in my own professional experience and my wife’s. I stand by my characterization of your damages expectations as totally unrealistic.

[RummyChick]

Yep.

I dont know what happened in this case

I do know that companies are walking landmines in 2020 from the snowflakes.

If you own a business you can be sued for not doing anything about a hostile work environment...and what constitutes Hostile is stretched beyond normal comprehension.

So here is @Equity_Prime airing what they say is Mrs Rolfe’s dirty laundry on Twitter... These people are unethical hypocrites. Whatever Mrs Rolfe did under duress can’t be any worse than this tweet, a one sided maligning of her character. These people are sick!!! twitter.com/Equity_Prime/s…

A house divided against itself, cannot stand.

I believe this country cannot endure permanently half Leftist/Deep State and half Conservative.

I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided.

It will become all one thing or all the other.

Either the opponents of Leftism/Deep State will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become predominant and tyrannical in all the States, California as well as Texas — Conservative as well as Leftist.

Too many of our Repub leaders are weak. Thank God for Trump. If we had more true leaders this could never have happened. We gave away our power to the libs by letting them have education and hollywood.

Exactly so. And we fund the enemies of our Republic.

[rlmorel]

See my post above at #50. One thing I have found in life is that very few things are new. Most things are variants of things that have already happened in history.

Not all...but most.

I think the Company will find that protestors don’t apply for mortgages.

After Trump I’m a free agent.

[OrioleFan]

I wonder if the reason the Atlanta Police Chief resigned was because the mayor was demanding she fire the officer. After this is all over and the murder 1 charge fails, I’d like to see the officer sue the mayor and the city for wrongful termination and win an award large enough to bankrupt the mayor and her cronies.

[gogeo]

I sure as hell hope you’re right with that prediction. Failing that, we are permanently effed.

Of, piff.

[gogeo]

It can be no other way.

[Manuel OKelley]

Yep and everyone here needs to spread this far and wide and hit these bastards in the balance sheet—do not do business with them under any circumstances

Spread their business info across 4chan and let nature take its course

[ScottinVA]

Unless the cultural and “educational” indoctrination are stopped at all levels, there is no arresting this hard-left drift. So... we ALL labor under an ultimately leftist jackboot or we cut our losses and find a way to divide what’s left of this country.

[gogeo]

we cut our losses and find a way to divide what’s left of this country.

There will be no refuge.
