She reported a direct report that used racist and sexist comments and then she was singled out. In fact the co worker accused of the comments was also shown in to be late quite a bit. So why was she the only one fired? Just asking???

That is the only reference to other people being late. Just saying.
It definitely sounds like a cr2p place to work for POC, but lets not forget she wasn't exactly a model employee either.

If true, the reason we are seeing massive uptick in DEI around campus is not because of any woke ideology but more for the concerns of upper managements pocket book. I can understand that. If you offered me a couple mil to push something that doesn't help the company or bottom line I would be happy to jump on board spouting nonsense and disappear into the shadows when confronted.

”At trial, Ms. Europe testified that Equinox repeatedly ignored her complaints of racist and sexually inappropriate behavior by Christopher Maltman, a fitness manager who reported to her. Maltman frequently made vulgar comments about Black women’s bodies, harassed Equinox employees using offensive language, and diverted personal training clients away from employees of color. Maltman remains employed by Equinox to this day.

Instead of addressing the hostile work environment created by Maltman, Equinox fired Ms. Europe, using “lateness” as a pretext. Swipe-in data shown at trial proved that other managers at Equinox had worse time and attendance records than Ms. Europe, yet she was the only one who faced any discipline for it.”

That’s from the actual court case

Not exclusively, but it’s part of the formula. With the personal fortune of many corporate executives (including ours) is directly tied to a positive ESG rating, is it any wonder why the DEI push is happening across corporate America? Don’t think it’s because they actually care or believe the words they’re saying​​​​​. It’s the stock price.

In my opinion, ESG ratings are an example of something that started out positive but turned. I don’t really want my investment dollars going to Phillip Morris or a strip mining operation. The problem is that the rating process is unregulated and has been co-opted by the left to push agendas that aren’t necessarily in the company’s or investor’s best interest, but they in effect must comply with anyway.
