#workplace-retaliation

Contra Costa County taxpayers may soon be on the hook for a settlement of a lawsuit accusing Assessor Gus Kramer of improperly slashing a property's value by millions of dollars then retaliating against the employee who raised alarms about it. The potential payout under consideration by the county's Board of Supervisors would cap another legal battle for the elected assessor, whose three-decade-long career has included campaign finance violation fines, a court judgement in another workplace retaliation lawsuit.

The widespread work mantra has been that you have the right to remain silent - anything you say against Charlie Kirk can be used against you in a performance evaluation. Matthew Dowd got fired for essentially saying what goes around comes around and Perkins Coie fired an associate for saying that Charlie Kirk was "one of America's leading spreaders of hatred, misinformation, and intolerance" - guess the firm didn't think that truth was a strong enough defense.

Over the past several days, Tarrio told me, he has activated an "extremely effective" network of Proud Boys to scour the social web, find posts celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk, identify the individuals involved, and persuade their employers to fire them. In many of these groups, people celebrate over growing tallies of firings, which they refer to as "scalps," he told me.
