It seems to me like WF is trying to avoid a bud light situation. Employees wearing BLM stuff will certainly put off a lot of people in many areas. So it's about not alienating a big portion of their customers, which would be a significant hit to sales.
Anyway, I find it odd to some extent that a business was not allowed, possibly, to limit what employees wear, especially if they interact with customers. A key tenant of sales and customer service is to make the person feel respected and to take an interest (fake if nothing else) in the customer.
It’s sad that a significant portion of their customers don’t believe black lives matter and that as usual money is more important than that to corporations
No, you are conflating the organization with the phrase. Probably why they picked that name. People oppose the org and their Marxist agenda, not so much (I hope) black people.
Leader embezzles millions and people are still clamoring to support that garbage organization. They definitely picked a great name to scam people with.
I can easily see this being a safety issue. You don't usually want employees wearing stuff that could anger other employees or customers, no matter the reason.
Or maybe it's the embezzling and theft of funds by the leader.
Jeff Bezos is embezzling?
Alienating racists isn't a bad thing.
