Dang, StillIRise1963 posted this article today. Opened up a flood of memories from some of the fucked up companies I've worked for.
While I in no way want to minimize the awfullness of racial slurs, far worse for me were the *multiple* times I witnessed POC get fired for bullshit reasons. One of the labs I worked for had a round of layoffs where they managed to lay off all but one of the black employees. I have so many stories. 😞
