I’m submitting this now because the Supreme Court just refused to hear the appeal of the lawsuit the fired employee filed. Regardless of the law, how clueless is it for a company to FIRE someone for having the courage to alert them to a problem that should be addressed? It’s possible for PC concerns to be overblown, but to penalize an employee so drastically for simply alerting management to a potential problem is pretty unbelievable.

That thinking is dated for IBM. I agree He warned mgmt. Then He got fired.
Dont work for IBM.

Or would IBM want a Race riot in Co.
Rehire that employee or relocate in other div. Then investigate issue.
