UMe/UMG queer brown employee fired for mass email regarding abortion

The followup email, ya'll!

To be fired during Pride Month! OMG unbelievable - where's his GoFundMe?

He used the business email contact list for his own personal agenda.

We would ALL be fired for doing that.

This guy sounds exhausting, even though I agree with his sentiment.

At this point I side-eye anyone who types "folks."

Yours in FURY!!!

How is abortion the issue of a brown gay man? Drama queen much?

"People with uteruses" is quite the standout too, r4!

"Or expect more unproductive days."

Yes, I'm sure those in change of Universal Music Group shuddered when they read those words.

"We CANNOT lose Michael Lopez!!!"

Geez

It's rather threatening!

He posted about all of this to LinkedIn, of all places, where presumably future potential employers will be checking. Seems unwise, but he seems to feel 100% justified.

He must think he’s invulnerable during pride month if he’s surprised they fired him when he didn’t do his work and threatened more unproductive days unless they meet his demands. I agree about the outrage but this wasn’t smart on his part.

This is what happens when you teach a generation of people that they are special, and what they think makes the world turn.

He is stunning and brave.

A few years ago I was fired from a job after they laid a bunch of facetious write-ups on me. I later came to find out that a co-worker snitched on me after I made a remark one particularly crazy day I wished we were unionized. It was retail and I hated the job so I didn't cry too much. What I did learn, is that in spite of my convictions on the matter, it would be better to keep all of my opinions to a closer circle than shouting it from the rooftoops.

r6 Yes, it's exactly the issue of drama queens (of all races and sexes) - I know many - like him. Their common theme: either BIPOC (or Black, brown) LGBTQIA+ themselves or vocal BIPOC LGBTQIA+ allies.

As one of the most overused slogans surrounding abortion is "Disproportionately affecting Black (sometimes including brown) / Trans / Queers / LGBTQIA+ folks", gay men like him who identify as queer and Latinos like him who identify as brown express how much it affects them the most, making them the most vulnerable, outraged, unable to go on with daily life and so on. Yes... MEN. Abortion.

I think she's tremendous!

"folks" 🤢

I can't see the tweets. Am I the only one?

Suck it up Pedro and do your JOB.

[quote]I can't see the tweets. Am I the only one?

Stevie Wonder can't.

I can't see the tweets either.

LINKIES STINKY

Can someone post the tweets? They've been removed.

Lol, he was probably just hungover.

I used to work with a young guy who had about 10 grandmothers pass away.

I took a week off to mourn when Guerlain discontinued L'Instant pour Homme Eau Extreme.

Here's the link to the emails

Here's the NY Post article.

Couple things:

People are at their wits fucking end with all the heat on women & minorities. Limiting rights, reversing decisions that granted rights.

People don't give a fuck any more about their dumb fucking jobs or what ever else we all used to think was SO IMPORTANT. It doesn't matter now. It's too late.

People have been putting up with tone policing and harsh judgment for standing up for civil rights for years. They're just over it. So all the namby-pamby naysayers and shamers don't matter any more. Every type of protest gets shit on no matter what. People get told "Well *that* was a dumb way to protest that..." "Too angry" "Too political" "Lazy" "Too 'woke'" "Messaging is wrong" "They're not believable because they're too loud/non-conforming/brown/ugly etc etc etc". It will never be enough for the critics. Nobody gives a shit about your feedback, which is just a roadblock.

Pretending to be "confused" why a member of one minority group would support the rights of another group. Lame.

One of my dickwad Trumper neighbors was wishing me a happy 4th of July yesterday, asking if I was going to the parade or fireworks. I said "No." and he kept on with "Well ya should, it'll be fun etc etc..." I told him to his face that I'm not celebrating this country when the United States Supreme Court is currently planning to rescind rights I have been granted. I have always kept my opinions & thoughts about this stuff to myself, but it's just not worth it any more.

I'm still confused why so many POC want to abortions? Do they want to wipe out their entire race? Also, why can't they practice safe sex?

He's not hawt.

R28 I hope you channel your opinions to your representatives and senators. Otherwise you’re just another person with a differing opinion.

[quote] People don't give a fuck any more about their dumb fucking jobs or what ever else we all used to think was SO IMPORTANT. It doesn't matter now. It's too late.

Then there should be absolutely no problem if he's been fired. I don't see why he should be complaining if he "[doesn't] give a fuck any more," according to you.

You can't have it both ways.

He didn't like his job.

He wanted his employment to end and make it seem like it was out of principle.

He got the first, but not the second.

I'm sure he'll be a popular choice for a new hire when the companies where he applies Google his name to see why he left his last job.

She deleted it because it was getting too much attention from right wing guys, heh.

R6 While this was a particularly stupid way for him to go about it, at least he stands up for others. You don't think taking away abortion rights has anything to do with you??

Good luck with that mindset.

r28 you would be "Buzz Killington", the person who can't enjoy things because x is wrong, because y doesn't have rights, because z doom is pending. There will always be bad stuff going on, somewhere. Spend less time online.

r27 thanks for that, it even has an additional email we didn't see.

So... bottom, right?

Twitter pulled it down because it was fake and NYPost will be retracting this ridiculous fake story.

It wasn't fake, r40, Katie pulled it from LinkedIn directly.

I assume if you had any proof of your statement you would have posted it. But I think you're just wishing it was fake because it makes you uncomfortable.

I took 3 weeks off when KFC just continued their potato wedges

R40 You're not very sharp, dear

Also, it doesn't even seem like you've read the thread, because Katie says she deleted the original thread and why in r35. But nice try.

The original thread on LinkedIn is quite something.
