I do not tolerate discrimination of any sort. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s discrimination against people or a group I don\u2019t normally associate with, I would not be okay with it. Of course, I\u2019d conduct further research to ensure the article was not falsely reported, as I have always trusted this company, but it would be hurtful to know that a company I support and appreciate very much would be partaking in this kind of behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be very difficult to continue to support a company that is doing something against my ethical values and beliefs. I know I would have instant guilt for unknowingly contributing to this terrible act in the past and wouldn\u2019t want to associate myself in any way, shape, or form moving forward. It\u2019s almost like this company betrayed itself, it\u2019s employees, and it\u2019s customers. Who would want to work for or be a part of a company that can\u2019t hold themselves to a high standard? I know I wouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Company culture is very important to me. I want to work for a company that aligns with my personal values. Clearly, this company, who I thought once did, no longer does. How does one defend a company that goes against people\u2019s morals? It would be difficult. This article would allow me to realize that it\u2019s time to move on and take my interests elsewhere. I could only hope others would do the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If I came across a news article that stated my favorite company was being faced with a public lawsuit because they were accused of widespread discrimination against individuals from the same ethnicity, culture, or belief system I associate with, no doubt would it change how I felt about the company.
