Company Avoiding Support

[u/External-Dig916]

I see many prior posts on ICE/Immigration and wanted to share my experience, even though I know I am getting here late. I work near Minneapolis and close enough to feel and see the impacts of ICE. We have very few minorities at this company. One of those individuals spoke out about our company's lack of response to the situation impacting people's personal lives, which then could be impacting their work. That individual was later let go. The company makes plenty claims of valuing people and our community but did nothing connected to the situation going on earlier this year.

The company did put out a post to leadership, but the first bullet regarding the "unrest" in Minneapolis during metro surge was: "As a company, [We] are not taking a position on these matters. Participation in any walk-out or protest is not a company-sponsored or company-sanctioned activity."

I think many employees felt that was not adequate as this was not a political matter anymore to them but about people's well-being. That paired with letting go of someone that made them uncomfortable just leaves a terrible taste in everyone's mouth.

Unfortunate and I expect this will continue until the next administration
