If I were to find out that one of my favorite businesses was engaging in widespread discrimination acts against individuals based on ethnicity, race, culture, or belief system, I would change my opinion of the company as a whole. I full believe in giving everyone a fair chance and that every person should be treated with respect regardless of culture, ethnicity, or belief system. I think all people are valuable and should be treated as such. If I found out a company that I was previously supporting was engaging in these acts I would no longer support them. For example, recently Victoria’s Secret said they would not consider a transgender person to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel. This upset me because someone who identifies as a female should be treated as such and have the same opportunities as the other females auditioning. After this dispute I ceased supporting Victoria’s Secret because they were not a company that welcomed all. I know a lot of companies that make major strides to be a welcoming and positive experience and offer opportunities to people that are less fortunate than others. These are the kinds of businesses I try and support, not ones that treat their employees unfairly by discriminating against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would also not want to work for a company that had allegations of discrimination. I would not want to work for a company that did not value all people and did not treat all people with respect because the company’s values would not align with my own. I think it is important to work for a company that you feel comfortable with and that aligns with your own personal values. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
