In reply to the discussion: Woman fired from her job after flipping off Trump's motorcade [View all]IronLionZion
(50,683 posts)20. Akima leaders have gotten flagged for obscene social media posts before
so this could be payback for this liberal woman who didn't toe the company's conservative line.
Because Briskman was in charge of the firms social media presence during her six-month tenure there, she recently flagged something that did link her company to some pretty ugly stuff.
As she was monitoring Facebook this summer, she found a public comment by a senior director at the company in an otherwise civil discussion by one of his employees about Black Lives Matter.
Youre a f------ Libtard a------, the director injected, using his profile that clearly and repeatedly identifies himself as an employee of the firm.
In fact, the person he aimed that comment at was so offended by the intrusion into the conversation and the coarse nature of it that he challenged the director on representing Akima that way.

Male privilege at least or political bias most likely. "Employment-at-will" laws are fascist.
