Virology


A man who valiantly served our country to protect your freedom so you could express yourself authentically, you had fired for a bitmoji.

Don't mask yourself as a victim. You could have simply explained why that made you uncomfortable.
You are such a coward, did you see the bitmoji that was sent to her? If you did and you think that’s ok then that says more about you than it does her. It’s sad that cowardly racist managers at Merck come on her a spew bigotry but they won’t say how they truly feel to that persons face. Also she didn’t get anyone fired they got themselves fired. Also you don’t get to invalidate how anyone feels because the domination of the Good Ole Boys Club is coming to an end.
 


Which part of DEI do you dislike? Is it Diversity? Equity? How about Inclusion? DEI is NOT just about ethnicity and gender. It's also diversity in thought and age. Giving people the accommodations they may need, like an elevator for someone in a wheelchair, ensures people are not locked out of certain places. Having that elevator makes the space more inclusive. Meaning the person in the wheelchair can now participate in all the space has to offer. DEI is not the problem, your understanding of it is.
This is what people who support DEI want others to believe it’s about, but in practice its discrimination and forces hiring/promotion decisions not based on merit. How about we just treat everyone equally and make decisions based on performance, merit?

Per Merck policy, posting on LinkedIn is a fireable offense. If she doesn't get fired there are some serious double standards.

If they terminate her based on her showing bigotry and hatred that minorities face at work on her LinkedIn page, I would love to see the reactions from our customers and the world on the treatment of minorities. My question is what bothers you the most, the fact that she posted on LinkedIn or the fact that disgruntled employees come on here and talk trash about their colleagues instead of being grown adults and she posted it validating what many have and are experiencing?

Do you honestly believe having all non minorities as CTL’s and DCO’s is merit based? So no people of color have been qualified for does positions whatsoever right? Majority of the pharmaceutical industry is dominated by non ethnic people and you think all of them got their by merit?

They won’t respond to logical post. I hope they uncover every one of you racist and expose you.

It is a valid question. Why did she not express that made her uncomfortable? He was congratulating her on a one-year anniversary and explained the bitmoji on the teleconference, indicating the challenges he had trying to make it. It is important to remember that less than 0.6% of the US population identifies as transgender, which means that there is a high likelihood of unintentionally offending someone. He was new to virology, and she had the opportunity to help him understand why it was wrong in her perspective. As a transgender person and a self-proclaimed activist, educating and constructive conversations can lead to positive changes in behavior. However, yelling “racist” at every opportunity only creates a barrier and hinders progress.

Come on, take a look at IT in both MRL, MMD…vast majority are non-white ethnic groups…different people go into different fields, some attract more minorities that other…stop making everything about race

If you under the statistic’s then why was the responsibility placed on her to educate him on all things trans? Do you educate people on all things Caucasian’s do and say that often comes off tone deaf and dismissive? Also how do you know she reported the bitmoji as racist which it apparently was and still is. I’m taking by your own omissions of being on the teleconference that he explained his intentions behind it but what others saw who wasn’t on your teleconference was those bitmoji did not resemble her in anyway and the one with the black face and middle finger sticking up, in what world was that acceptable? Others who saw it took offense as well but since you have the ability to only see things conceptually through the eyes of a dominant class and have never experienced the complexities and nuances that others who don’t have your position to power and privilege I totally get this response. It was Merck who ultimately decided to let him go not her and the higher ups who elevated the bitmoji all the way up understood the seriousness of that bitmoji that if it ever makes it to the public, which she never posted to the public there would be serious consequences as this country is at a boiling point with racism.

If you honestly don’t believe that there are barriers that have kept non ethnic people out of this industry, then there’s no need to further a dialogue. Even in all of those fields you mentioned there are still more Caucasian people than does of African descent and unfortunately in the society we live in yes everything ultimately comes back to race but since you don’t understand that because of your proximity to white privilege you don’t understand what it’s like for others who don’t have that and I’ll digress?

Here’s a valid question, you mentioned the teleconference that you all were on, did you check in on her to see if she was ok or because he whitesplained it you felt it was sufficient? Sounds like as her District colleagues you all failed her as well.

This is getting out of hand. If this alleged bitmoji "makes it to the public", as was stated above, nothing would come of it. No one would care. And if they did, Merck would say it was the action of one and he was fired. Stop trying to turn this into a war. If you don't like it here, then leave. Just be sure to take Cynthia Edlow with you.

If you honestly believe that go ask Target and there shareholders, keep thinking your bigotry and racism has no consequences you will FAFO. I’m pretty sure she’s unbothered and moving on with her business it’s you cowardly racist who flock over here and spew venom but wouldn’t burst a grape in a fruit fight

It’s so ironic that they cared enough to terminate the great army veteran who did so much for her to be who she is though right but according to you no one cares. Keep telling yourself that until you find yourself on the loosing end thinking people don’t care about how you treat others, but do carry on thinking it’s business as usual.

Oh good lord here, dominant class…this country is not at a boiling point with racism, it’s people like you trying to spin that narrative. Can’t imagine what it must be like to see everything through racial colored glasses, I actually feel sorry for you

Where have you been the Klan just openly marched in Ohio 2 months ago and had to be escorted away for their own safety. Shiloh Hendrix just called an 5 year old Autistic child racial slurs and white supremacy members of society donated and made her a millionaire, the list goes on but since these things don’t impact you, Amerikkka is being made Great Again…..

He explain the finger as he was trying to show the 1 as one year anniversary and he also mentioned how you have to be cautious with prompts in AI. The most interesting part is she didn't report it right away....until she had so many dashboard violations she received a letter. Let me type slow and whitesplan what that means...she wasn't doing her job.
