Thursday my team received a spam email from the company we are contracted to work for's Yammer. An employee on his way out submitted a post stating the company needs to have diversity training in regards to racism against straight white men, Its still up. The post and comments are filled to the brim with EEOC violations discriminating against pretty much anyone that can read. Its like the worst reddit post you can imagine and its completely unmoderated, I guess they dont have mods on their company yammer, but because the company distributed this content to my email address they are on the hook for everything that was posted.
I copypasta'd everything, sent an email to my boss and my personal email pointing this out and complaining that it has discriminatory content that I found offensive. She was just as offended as I and really pissed off that this content was allowed to be up for days.
Im just a contractor, my boss doesnt work for the company with the content. She has to report it to her boss who has to report it to his boss who then takes it to the client company where this is posted and God knows where it will go from there. Do you see how this is going to get lost?
If this discriminatory content is not removed in a “Timely manner” they violate EEOC and I will have a case, as would my coworkers.
This email is a protected complaint. In a “right to work state” it basically takes away their right to fire me for cause. If they do I can claim retaliation because of the complaint. I dont plan on staying after the summer, so this affords me protection until im ready to leave.
People are always doing dumb shit like this, when they do use it to your advantage.
