No, I'm not talking about DOGE. Or Edward Snowden or Julian Assange.
I know of a situation where the manager of a convenience store is incompetent and is doing unethical (and illegal) things to hide his incompetence-- and trying to intimidate the employees into also doing things to help hide the fact he is doing this sort of thing.
The company is aware of the situation, but instead of doing anything about the dishonest bully of a manager, they are transferring the employee who brought his dishonesty and bullying to their attention.
They can't (or won't) touch the bad manager because of his "race". Even though it is hurting the company. Holding him accountable might hurt the company even worse if he complained and cried "racism".
Which he would do because he's already tried to use this against the employee who refused to do the unethical things he was trying to get her to join in on. She won't do the unethical (and illegal) things he wants her to do because she's "racist", according to him. She's not.
Knowledge of the situation is spreading through the company among the other managers of other locations. Apparently, everyone also understands why this manager is allowed to keep doing what he's doing without losing his position. If anyone takes the fall, it will be the peons under him.
I don't know if the guy is a DEI hire, but DEI or something like it is now keeping him in his job. It's certainly not his job performance.
The business can do what the executives believe is in the company's best interests. Even if others disagree and believe they are shooting themselves in the foot. Time will tell. I hope their blatant racism comes back to bite them. (And, no, the employee who is being transferred hasn't said it's due to racism, even though it clearly is. She only mentioned the "racism" angle when saying he'd thrown that in her face.)
I wouldn't want to work for a company that I know does something like this. I wouldn't want to trade with this company, knowing it keeps managers who are doing things that could potentially give customers food poisoning, just to keep a crooked manager from running to a lawyer, crying "Wa! Wa! Boohoo! I'm a victim of racism!" No, sir; you've been shielded from the consequences of your actions by racism. You're a beneficiary of racism, not its victim.
Racism is usually (these days) political, and politics makes people stupid, and usually a bit evil, too.
Thank you for reading.
