My perspective on the company from this point on would change significantly. Depending on the situation my support would also change accordingly. If it was one individual and the company could show that they were taking appropriate steps to prevent anything from happening again I would consider continuing my support. However, if it is something that is too engrained in the company I would not feel comfortable supporting them further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, I would not want to work for a company that has this kind of culture.

If action is taken to correct it and the company can learn from their mistakes then they will become better in the long run.

I personally would not take the risk if I saw warning signs that the company culture allowed for discrimination. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If I were faced with these circumstances where a company that I admire were accused of discrimination, I would want to know more.
