I just got laid off from my job at CBS and every producer on my team who got laid off is a person of color. Every person who gets to stay and will be relocated within the company is a white person. Now, in my meeting with the executive who told me I was getting laid off, I specifically asked him if it was a consideration for us to be relocated somewhere else within the company.

And he said that we advocated to keep the show. We advocated to try to get you relocated somewhere and we couldn't. Because I asked him why are you the person who is making this decision or delivering the news that we're being laid off and he said oh it could have been anyone only to later find out because it wasn't until I went downstairs thinking that me and all of my colleagues have been laid

off that I found out that it was only the people of color so I went one by one to my white colleagues are you getting laid off no are you getting laid off no are you getting laid off no are you getting laid off no so I went back up to his office and I told him I think you lied to my face

And come to find out

1:12

It was not his decision

1:18

To eliminate the show that I worked for but he did get to decide

1:22

Who got to stay I told him you said that

1:26

You couldn't get us relocated only to find out that you were able to get some people relocated and they all happen to be white am I supposed to believe that that's a coincidence and he said yes I'm supposed to believe that's coincidence I said do you believe that's coincidence he said I do because I chose to keep the people who I had worked with before. So mind you, not only is it not based on merit, it is in its result racist. I don't care if you decided to keep people who had purple color hair, you deciding to keep people who you had worked with before, which

don't even know if that's true if The outcome of that decision is racist. The action was racist. That shit is fucked

2:11

Already can tell that this person is incredibly difficult to work with right? We already know that because Him going up to people and doing it based off a race himself also shows that he is biased and he exhibits a level of racism. Now, he's basically saying that his colleagues, a lot of his colleagues that got relocated over into other shows were inherently white. Now, of course, we don't know how true this is, but we just going to take him at his word. I'll also tell you that a lot of the reason why people are able to move over to different places is really not even

2:48

based off of merit, it's based off of the fact that they're easy to work with and you based off of merit, it's based off of the fact that they're easy to work with and you know them, and so you got to make friends with Kool-Aid.
