trader joe's just fired me for sending this letter to the ceo, saying i don't share the company values. i guess advocating for a safer workplace isn't a company value?pic.twitter.com/3TKi5B8HSJ

UPDATE: Trader Joe’s reinstated me with back pay, agreed to withdraw their statement from WaPo, and posted this notice reminding employees of their rights. Thanks to @BenjaminDictor, to my email co-writer @CatherineWRyan and everyone who messaged me support!pic.twitter.com/VSzFyl0Jvj
There’s an awful lot of insinuating going on in their statement. Wow, I’m never shopping there again.
among other things @BenBonnema that seems like a willful or at least ignorant misreading/misrepresentation of what you wrote—even to misattributing what they purport as verbatim text, no? not the worst of it, but like they just...made up an objection they wanted to be true.
This definitely seems like they threw the book at someone they didn’t like for being too much of a thorn in their side
***Your employment is at will***
I'm so tired of Trader Joe's acting like an amazing company when they don't care about their staff at all
Yup. I used to love ours, but ever since I saw the young woman at the door harassed by a lady who didn't want to wear a mask, and the manager just cave and let her in (she then proceeded to wander around & LEAN OVER other customers the entire time I was there) I haven't been back
John there’s nothing ableist in the letter Ben wrote & the ADA has been clarified by many folks regarding masks & those who cannot wear them. It is NOT reasonable to accommodate people. A MODIFICATION is what is reasonable. https://www.nationaldisabilityinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/ada-and-face-mask-policies.pdf …
