13 thoughts on “After termination, Newfields HR executive makes discrimination claim

  1. So if I understand correctly, African American VP clashed with and criticizes previous African American CEO (which may have led to her termination) and then gets terminated by current African American CEO. Yep, obvious discrimination going on here!

  2. Sounds like new CEO is cleaning house of the problem employees and this guy should have been gone a while ago.

    Board leadership didn’t change though so let’s not expect too much change overall

  3. And thus, the problem with DEI and hiring people because of race, sex and pet ownership. Luckily Mr. Booker appears to have an excellent resume, and we can move on from all the silliness.

  4. This is an example of the glass ceiling. A business takes a risk of a lawsuit and complaint when hiring an “protected identity” then decides to terminate employment for a reason. So don’t hire a protected employee.

  5. or may be,, this is an example of an organization deciding to rid itself of the squeaky wheel and see if not having someone pointing out the issues will cause the issues to go away…you know, hear no evil, see no evil.

  6. Looks like the new President and CEO Booker has cut the cancer out of the Museum staff. This shows real leadership and intelligence!
    The Irony of the HR Director being the one to claim discrimination, seems to reflect his pitiful self entitlement privilege, at least in his DEI mind.
    Good luck to Booker and the museum!
