... 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.
Seems like FREEDOM OF SPEECH is no longer applicable in this country.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.
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.
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.”
