Who would ever think that mentally ill, underqualified minorities would **** up a company?...

A person who “identifies” as “they” is dotty. Why anyone felt it necessary to remark upon the dotty person’s skin color is beyond me, though.

The human resources department said to “assume good intent”? That’s a first in the history of the universe.

I assume no one did, and “they” is lying.

Good point.

“prefers to be identified by the pronouns they/them”

Is this insanity a standard part of the NBC journalism stylebook now?

I hope these three manage a successful EEOC suit. I love it when Leftists eat their own.

I hope Google is devoured by the woke monster it helped create.

advocate for raises for Black people to match White employees’ pay.

They believe that cafeteria workers, janitors and parking lot attendants should receive the same pay and benefits as an IT Security specialist who spent six years studying for a masters degree in math and computer science.

If not, they scream racism and discrimination.

Black women in her field, known for her work uncovering racial bias in facial recognition systems. Curley was a tech recruiter who brought in new talent from historically Black colleges and universities.

Obviously critical workers in the company's bottom line.

It’s more than likely they are lying-after all, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. It’s disgusting that such mentally unstable people are hired by Goolag, but they deserve what they get.

Silly me, I thought they/them referred to someone with multiple personalities. Referral to a shrink seems reasonable to me.

Cruz, who is Mexican American prefers to be identified by the pronouns they/them, reported the incident to human resources in 2019 where personnel told them they should “assume good intent.”

I wish I could ask Mr Mrs Ms Cruz if "they" have ever heard the expression "presumption of innocence."

Regards,

Its choice of pronouns doesn’t mean that I have to violate the rules of the English language.

In “discrimination” and “hate crime” incidents, more often than not the incident was falsified or set up.

“Assume good intent.”

From what I understand, good intent is beside the point, according to law, when the offense is workplace harassment whether sexual or racial.

Special consideration because of your skin color or ethnic origin is racist and against Federal law.
