[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My takeaway is that anyone who doesn’t recognize the very, very famous saying, “The beatings will continue until morale improves,” isn’t well read…and is quite dim if they can’t recognize the humor.

None of this is surprising, but it is sad.

The bizarre and inappropriate behavior at the ACLU speaks volumes…and underscores that the org has lost its way.

They need new leadership…and a heckuva lot of training.

I think she knew what it meant.  It was said in the context of a supposed morale boosting meeting where the oganization was attempting to make up for a dismissed abusive boss.  The fact that she claimed it was threatening violent language, akin to a physical threat, is absurd on its face.  That's like claiming "bang the drum" is a violent phrase.

[b] It was clearly retaliation in my opinion[/b].  But what makes it worse is that it was also likely defamation and the whole inversion of the power dynamic was very odd.  Senior leadership claiming that someone two or more rungs down the ladder was threatening them because they said they felt afraid.  WTF

Sadly it's a leadership problem that is now threatening the legacy of a storied organization.  Shame on them, I'm definitely done donating.[/quote]

Agree with all of this.  The gay Black man felt threatened when a junior associate told him that she was afraid to report a bad boss - so he fired her?  Crazy!

And several posters on this thread thought her language was coded and she deserved firing because of it?  That's more craziness![/quote]

I was fired for complaining about abusive behavior by my boss. They didn't want to deal with the bad behavior, so got rid of the complainer. It happens. [/quote]
