/SARCASM ON/ Like most women in the workplace, she would have been better off being seen and not heard.
/SARCASM OFF/

Unfortunately, she probably was talking about the situation and her views upset her co-workers and management. If that was the case, if it was me I would not have said a word about anything concerning it at work. If she did talk about it at work she might still have her job if she did not say anything there. It should not have to be that way but in a lot of workplaces now it is.

Well that makes perfect sense.

Sounds like Mom should've kept quiet.
This is why you do not discuss ANYTHING about your private life where you work.

It could also be she did keep quiet, got accosted at work by idiots and defended her step son. People go to great lengths to be offended and a lot of companies are run by scumbags. Maybe the company fired her for guilt by association.

Looking at the company's Twitter feed (that ratio is glorious btw), seems like they done screwed up.

 

[DyeF9]

That seems like it could be a legitimate lawsuit

... you do not discuss ANYTHING about your private life where you work.

As an HR guy, this ^ is what I tell everyone. No personal photos, no I love me wall, nothing that is not directly related to what the company is paying you to do.

Whether she has grounds for wrongful termination is yet to be seen, but I’ll bet there are more than a handful of firms that will offer to file on her behalf knowing a settlement is most likely, even if the company is 100% justified in the termination.

The company probably also has some problems when it comes to their publicly released statement and her termination. Never publicly discuss reasons for termination. About the only reasonable way for a company to publicly address this is “X is a former employee and as such, the company has no comment on the matter.”

Seems like FREEDOM OF SPEECH is no longer applicable in this country.
Back during WWII there were protesters here in this country that preached Nazi propaganda and were untouched. The general public didn't like it, but they backed the Free Speech granted by the Constitution.
I read this morning that people are demanding the Texas Rangers baseball team be renamed because the original Texas Rangers that fought and died for Texas Freedom were racists.

Give me an "f-ing" break.

Pandering for political points + trying to avoid BLM's attention. Throwing individuals under the bus to appease the groups is the new American sport.....

Totally PC. Brooks was served time (7 yrs) case related to theft of Gov. property, resisting arrest, later 7 years for unlawful confinement (3 charges) and beating a minor (step son?), was released due to covid. If he had survived the shooting, another 10 years for resist, assault with weapon (felon already), DUI. Has 5 known aliases. Dumb people do dumb things.

What about "innocent until proven guilty" in a court of law?

Granted, I still think the officers did what they felt they had to do in that situation, and personally don't find fault in their actions.

But statements like yours, to some sort of justification for their actions isn't doing anyone any good. He deserved to be arrested, not killed. And I'm sure in hindsight those officers are second guessing every thing they did that day and what could have been done differently.

Justification for shooting him? No....his attack on the police officers was justification enough. However, unlike most non-LEOs, the officers likely had an idea of who they were dealing with from running a background check on his ID or car tags. They likely knew his record and his risk factors. And they likely knew that they couldn't risk him getting hold of any weapon in a fight. That's just wise and prudent.

Brooks killed himself.....the LEOs just carried the bullet for him.....

toddnjoyce,

My guess is that she won't need a job after her lawyers get through suing the company.
