...what the fuck. $25m for a woman who failed upwards for her entire career.
Was the jury 90% women?
I just don't fucking get it. Women can brag about discriminating against men in front of audiences of celebrities and bank executives, but firing one of them is worth this much?!
What about all the qualified men who didn't get the job because she got it?
Failing upwards? She managed a fucking Starbucks. Not exactly the height of success.
You really need to work on grasping the concept of two things being bad at once. It's bad that she got fired for being white, it's bad that companies discriminate against men.
I'm starting to think he may be cognitively impaired and literally incapable of grasping more than a single concept at a time.
I sincerely think he's schizophrenic.
Clearly he took a personal interest in her career years ago, like some sort of sports talent scout, except for Starbucks employees. Probably researching to know exactly when to time a short of Starbucks' stock. That puts him in the position to be uniquely qualified to know whether or not she had received unearned promotions.
No, I just am capable of reading a corporate report.
Starbucks was the first company to set a target for female hires above 50%.
Regional manager, not one store.
She wasn't fired for being white, she was probably fired for undermining company policy in some way. No company would risk firing a woman for anything less than a significant breach of contract, because they have a habit of winning discrimination suits.
My guess is that the general public is starting to have black people fatigue do to all the BLM, open racism towards white people, blackwashing everything. So while a white woman would be lower on the victimhood stack for things like jobs, promotions and education opportunities she won do to fatigue.
