Several black employees claim to have experienced racism at a noteworthy tech company. It’s been posted to HN for the same reason all the other stories, discussion. Do these employees need to ask you for permission before they can go to the press to talk about what they experienced? You complain about baseless accusations and then make a claim about this being extortion for settlement money.
- bra-ket 6y agoIf their rights have been violated why don't they go to court with all the available evidence? Accusation of racial discrimination in a workplace is a serious deal, and it's not up to the media to decide who's right or wrong solely based on one side (disputed) claims. It's called defamation and they are legally liable.
- sksnskkcahan 6y agoAre you saying that the highest standard you’d hold a company to is mere compliance with the law? Hope I never have to work somewhere where that’s the best we can do.
- bra-ket 6y agoyep, compliance with the law would suffice, thank you very much. I'd take that vs. a company driven by woke trend of the day.
