Why jump immediately to firing? Talk to people first. Don’t start the process by making someone go on medical leave (medical leave is typically paid at a much lower rate than working; it depends on who the company hires (think Aflack and similar)).
- Chris2048 6y agoCruz pushed the topic three times, on the third (after being told the case was closed the 2nd time) they told him to go on leave.
- falcolas 6y ago"We have come to the conclusion that you shouldn't feel insulted by this, so we're going to force you to take a break on reduced pay and talk to a psychologist." Repeatedly going back to HR with this issue clearly indicates that Cruz felt uncomfortable working in this environment. It's unfortunate how this would be enough to trigger a sexism claim (which is backed by law), but not a racism claim.
- Chris2048 6y agoThat's very speculative; it could indicate Cruz felt uncomfortable working in this environment. It might be enough to trigger a sexism claim - though I'm not sure if a single comment is enough to prove a hostile working environment. I could just as well speculate that badgering HR over a single inconsequential incident got Cruz flagged as a nuisance s.t. they attempted to move him out.
