The outstanding claims of discrimination would definitely change the way I feel about the company because I already had an idea of who they were and what they brought into my life. But hearing about the discrimination claims towards an ethnicity, culture, or belief system that I associate with, that would make me feel disgusted and upset. It may not be targeted directly to me but I do take culture and belief seriously when it comes to my family and friends and whatever I get involved with. It may not have to be this company, it could be a restaurant, or a music artist.
It would influence my decision to support the company because as I mentioned above, I take this seriously and if I were to support the company, it’s saying that I support what they are doing and agree with their discrimination claims. Even if the company was family-owned, personally I would talk about it to them and if nothing changes, then I’d have to disassociate myself or take matters into my own hands and make sure others know I am not supporting them or agreeing with them.
It would not change whether or not I apply to work for that company in the future, as I mentioned above, I would talk to them about it. If nothing changes, I would take matters into my own hands and try to be better than the company and let the public know that. For example, I was watching this show on Netflix and it was about a law firm. Within that law firm, they discriminated against and “bullied” a certain race. Long story short, nothing got resolved so a senior partner quit and the other employees being discriminated against put it out to the world in the New York Times that the law firm discriminates.
