re: Stepmom of atlanta officer rolfe was fired from her HR job today

So there’s no case for wrongful termination ?

Correct. Their is no cause in Georgia in this case. She is not in a protected class and the reason for termination will not be protected. We are getting on dangerous grounds when your political affiliate can be cause for job termination which is closely where this one is given that the "social media post" in question was actually a private message shared by a lady running for Congress.

This will be a federal action through EEOC.

EEOC will not take sides, but will allow her to proceed with a suit (as they do in 99+% of the cases filed to them). The suit will be filed and then it will likely go to mediation with the expectation by the judge that the parties will come to an amicable settlement. You must go through EEOC before you can file suit.

My wife (no pics) has had to do this twice as a female manager in a male-dominated industry. Sexual harassment is prevalent in the industry in which she works; the companies are all incestuous and swap management employees constantly. Nobody is ever really punished.

The whole "protected class" thing is complete horseshite anyway.

It would definitely apply with her age but there is no apparent evidence that age played any factor in their decision. I guess a twist could be made with her as a mom.

Put it this way, Richard Jewell's attorney says all day long this is a defamation/libel case and an extremely egregious one (unless they come up with some smoking gun that hasn't shown itself). In fact, he is going to participate in the legal team.

I did my best thinking to try to come up with some explanation where a company parked something like that on their website front page and pinned it on their social media...like what do they gain from that? They could have done one generic post and moved on. They didn't even have to say a word or use her name. Yet days later, they have left all the posts pinned and there sits the front of their website.

They are a mortgage company and people can't even access their customer service and sales options.

Interesting...

Explain, please.

Can easily fire a white man for not being good at his job, not so much with protected class people.

If you don’t by now realize the added protections that certain classes have over a white man, then you just don’t have much corporate experience.

Show of support for officer's mom fired

A few people had asked about this and ran across it today.

Apparently, the case against the company will be filed this week with lots of texts from the company showing their support to her (prior to falling to the pressure). Apparently, she was working from home on an agreed leave and was not even in the office (along with half the other staff) when she created a hostile work environment.

Other than being the mom of Officer Rolfe, it appears her "views" that apparently made her a racist and created social injustice was that she supports her son and the police.

Remember when police were the damn heros for enforcing our laws and putting up with the worst parts of our society? shite is out of control.
