But by explaining Disney’s decision not to take a stand on “Don’t Say Gay,” rather than simply not taking a public position, Morrell’s strategy opened up the company to months of protest that could have been avoided.
Should have told the employees to STFU - or just fired them.
“Saying nothing was not going to work. It was the employees that demanded a “correct” response.”
I worked for a Fortune 500 company. Our Diversity instructor was a former communist guerilla from El Salvadore. According to him, if you didn’t immediately confront another employee who had said something “politically incorrect” that made you a “condoner.” This was actually different and worse than someone who had made the initial statement. This was an immediately fireable offense.
I watched an interview with a woman who had lived under the Nazis and the Soviets. She preferred the Nazis because they told you what to do, or not do and as long as you complied, they left you alone. But the Soviets wanted you to think a certain way and they could decide that you didn’t and kill you for it.
Than they should’ve fired there a$$es.🤔
