Cisco fires employees who asked the "wrong" questions during a BLM discussion

The purpose of meetings like this isn’t to make things better for the world. It is to protect Cisco’s bottom line.

Exactly. Protect the bottom line at all costs.

It shouldn’t be the job of corporations to fix the ills of society.

No.

In most cases yes.

I know that. The problem comes when the world comes inside your fence, which it always does.

You are a lucky one.

The Cisco employees were not as lucky.

Allan

I’m not lucky.

You were were still employed at the end of training.

That’s more that can be said for these hapless employees who got canned during a recession.

That’s not luck.

Oh sure it is.

But I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this subject as always.

If Cisco was unionized, I’ll bet that they couldn’t have fired these employees.

Who is they?

Depends. the myth that union members cannot be fired, is a …myth.

Yes, it is harder to get fired…but it still can, and does happen.

Yep. That’s why liberals love police unions.

Who did he say.

HR is disproportionately black and the rest are scared ■■■■■■■■ that if they dont do such virtue signaling, they are next on the chopping black.

How do you know the race makeup of Cisco HR?

Liberals support the concept of unions, democracy in the workplace, giving workers a louder voice.

Like damn near everything, unions can be corrupt, and more of a negative than a positive.

I was not responding to a question about Cisco, Sparky.

He said this:

people would like to have uncomfortable conversations as long as they’re comfortable with what’s being discussed.

Who are those people? Are there a lot of those people? Do they belong to any particular group?
