I wish we could all scoff and laugh at that.
Sadly it’s likelier than not. Racism is trending if you haven’t noticed. And Ed’s been an obvious one forever.
Old white man who nobody likes getting rid of the Black guy we all champion.
Looks like a duck, quakes like a duck…
It’s weird that some people don’t believe racism motivates decisions in the workplace. I mean, there was that big article about Ed Rogers’ horrible treatment of Masai a few years back.
People think racists are going to come out and say, “we don’t want that n-word around here anymore!” Like, that’s not how racism in the workplace works. If it was that overt then it would never fly and it wouldn’t be as insidious as it is.
I 100% agree, but it's incredibly tiresome to just chalk EVERYTHING in this case up to racism, and ignore recent performance and cost of the leader. Both things can be true.
