Stepmother of Atlanta cop charged with shooting dead Rayshard Brooks is fired
The Daily Mail ^ | 19 June, 2020 | Emily Crane

The stepmother of the Atlanta police officer charged with murdering Rayshard Brooks has been fired from her job as a HR director of a mortgage company because employees no longer felt comfortable engaging with her.

Garrett Rolfe's stepmother, Melissa Rolfe, had her employment at the Atlanta-based Equity Prime Mortgage terminated this week, according to a statement from the company on Thursday.

The statement said Melissa, a HR director, had violated company policy and created an 'uncomfortable' and 'hostile' working environment as she was transitioning to a leave of absence granted by the firm.

It is not yet clear what Melissa said or did to warrant her firing.

DailyMail.com has contacted Equity Prime Mortgage for comment.

'Melissa Rolfe's termination was a direct result of her actions in the workplace and violation of company policy,' the company 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 to part ways.'

If she gets a good lawyer she could wind up owning that mortgage company.

If it’s Right to Work, I think this isn’t protected?

Georgia is an employment at will state. Unless she could prove that she was fired for reasons covered by anti-discrimination laws then she has no case. Best response would be to generate negative feedback on the former employer.

Is she white? Then, she deserves it.

Do I have the Socialist Democrat Narrative down correctly?

NONE of this is going to end well. The Socialist Democrats started a WAR that they will LOSE. Bigly. ;)

She was probably taunted by the “other employees” and she fought back.

Sippenhaft. Used is NAZI Germany

Sippenhaft is a German term referring to the idea that a family can share the responsibility for a crime or act committed by one of its members. The philosophy was applied to members of the military and the families of the conspirators involved in the July 1944 assassination plot against Hitler.

Communists and NAZIs. Don’t just eliminate the sinner, eliminate all his relatives, too. This is who is fighting us. I thought “this is who we are fighting,” but we are not fighting.

The cop's mom was charged with shooting Brooks... after he was already dead?

Horrible. I would have fired her too.

It sounds to me more like she was fired because of the Company and it's employee's RACIAL DISCRIMINATION and she should SUE them into Bankruptcy, along with ALL her Co-Workers that exhibited BIGOTED RACIST ATTITUDES that cost her, her Job

In other words:

We value diversity of thought and respect Melissa's personal views and the views of all employees; however, when those views differ from our own, we get all upset and triggered and offended, and we blame it on Melissa because we perceive that it could create a hostile working environment,...
What a pile of totally transparent horse crap. These people are evil lunatics.

The problem is that company “trust and respect” and “diversity” policies make it de facto law that you can’t violate social justice norms as a condition of your job.
