Woke employee who refused to work while 'mourning' Roe v. Wade fired
2022-07-05
[NYPOST] A woke Universal Music Group worker claims he was fired for "speaking up" about child sacrifice abortion rights — after he admitted he refused to work because he was in "mourning" over the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Michael Lopez, a production coordinator at Universal Music Enterprises, blasted the company as "anti-gay" for terminating a "queer brown person" during Pride Month for "speaking up in defense of child sacrifice abortion rights," according to a lengthy note on LinkedIn that went viral last week.

"Last Friday, like countless other folks, I was devastated by the news of the supreme court’s [sic] attack on child sacrifice abortion rights," Lopez wrote.

"Paired with the flood of anti-queer and anti-trans legislation, it’s been hard to process how company’s [sic] expect us to be productive while our rights are being stripped away."

Lopez then went on to explain that each Friday "one of my tasks was to process reports for upcoming releases" and then to email his work to 275 people.

But instead of doing the usual process reports, he wrote an email that read: "I didn’t do them today."

"I’m in mourning due to the attack on people with uteruses in the US. Federally guaranteed access to child sacrifice abortion is gone," the email continued.

#9  I think a big part of what's happening is the people at the top see a string of bad earnings quarters coming, and they are trying to get out ahead of analysts and shareholders asking why all this non-germane to the corporation's business stuff is being allowed.

It would be great if the coming (already here) recession killed the corporate "mission statement" bullscrit.

Liberals and Generation "?" Lessons Learned.
1. When you work for a Business, focus on doing its Business.

2. Never bite the hand that feed you, because you are likely to no longer get fed.

3. Better not list them on your resume.

4. If you are true blue Rainbow GAY, what does abortion matter to you any way, other than just playing a Liberal Persona Role for other Liberal screwballs.

#2  ...Universal Music has exactly two priorities: making money and counting that money. Sugarplum here should have known that.
