Remember, the proximate cause here was something that directly related to what happened at work.
- moduspol 6y agoNo, it was just claimed to be. It's not the case that forming a committee that's over 1/3 the size of the company to do unprompted evaluation of vendor relationships for DE&I and approval of guest speakers follows logically from, "there used to be a list of funny sounding names and management didn't handle it well."
- duxup 6y agoThe funny names list? Yeah that seems to have been the trigger but I'm not sure that such a list should lead to everything described in the article. How that lead to demanding someone denounce white supremacy at a meeting seems like things have long since disconnected from the funny names list.
