Sandra Bradley just learned a lesson. Sending anti-gay emails at work, when your boss is gay-friendly is NOT a good mix.
In fact, it got her fired...
The fired woman worked as an administrative assistant in the president’s office, according to reports. After receiving an e-mail forward that included wedding photos of a gay couple, she forwarded the e-mail to others and made comments that were considered discriminatory.
In a statement released Thursday, Dr. Robert M. Franklin, Morehouse’s president, announced that “the college has disciplined the persons involved in the incident, and one of the implicated employees is no longer with the college.”
The employees were not identified in Franklin's statement. Morehouse College has a no-tolerance position on discrimination, said Franklin.
“The views expressed in the e-mail entitled, ‘The WTD of the Week,' (September 28, 2009) were the personal views of one individual and do not reflect the values or policies of Morehouse College,” he said in the statement. “The College has taken great strides toward building a diverse and tolerant community.”
I bet you won't do that foolishness again, Sandra. However, I bet she will be the spokesperson for any anti-gay movement in Georgia.
Many years ago, there was someone where I worked who got caught bashing her boss and work colleagues.
ReplyDeleteShe was using the company e-mail.
The rest of the work staff soon started using Hotmail and Yahoo after that.
Here are my thoughts on a former boss:

Good for Morehouse! Their reputation is outstanding for many reasons, and this is one of them.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bold stance by the college - but one that makes sense! People can be so closed minded - sometimes my theory is that they are bored and need to find something to make them feel important and heard!
