Five former and current American Express employees have claimed that the company is engaging in ‘reverse discrimination’ by singling out black people for promotion at the expense of other staff.
The staff told FOX News that company policy appeared to change after the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer last May.
The five who spoke out did not work in human resources, or provide any official documentation to support their allegations.
They claimed at first that CEO Stephen Squeri made politically-charged statements about the current events, and employees later had to undergo training sessions focused on ‘microaggressions’ and ‘unconscious bias’.
The staff said they then started to see racial minorities promoted at a higher rate than white people.
‘I wanted to move up really bad,’ said one former employee, who is white.
‘I did everything I was supposed to do in terms of trainings and extra work. I was on committees, going out of my way to be helpful, being a leader on team calls and national calls,’ said the employee, who was not named. But ‘I saw the writing on the wall: There’s no way I can get promoted because of the color of my skin.’
He claimed it was reverse discrimination.
The company, though, has denied engaging in any type of discrimination.
Good….Sue them all…. Obama started this chit
Who is this obama folks keep talkin about?
The GOVT is the WORSE one for this Discrimination against the WHITE PEOPLE !!!!!!
Favoring & Protecting ONLY the Blacks all the time !!!! I know I worked Federal State County City !!!!!!!
Sounds like AMEX needs to fire someone…
What a loser!
The entire country is in reverse discrimination. Think about this. In the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s there was certainly discrimination against black people. The 80’s, 90’s and 2000, we were moving towards equality. Late 2000 until present’ reverse discrimination is happening. In all those years, the only thing different is we had our first black President who wasn’t satisfied with equality and started this.
Well, that is going on Everywhere in the WHOLE damn country incl GOVT, Military , you name it !!!! over 50 years !!!!
It is called AFFIRMATIVE ACTION (Reverse Discrimination toward WHITES !!!! ) BAN these laws NOW !!!
To have Equality throw OUT Affirmative Action & Equal the Playing Field !!!! SOLVED
Stop giving the Blacks too much & favoring them on everything !!!! America has Whites,Jews,Indians, & others too !!!
When the minority becomes the majority, then there is no need for shining that light or reparation talk, yes? Hell the demographics in Texas has changed….
Well there is a pill that will change your skin pigmentation. You’ll still be white on the inside it’s no big deal.
That’s how ridiculous ALL of this is and most of it has little to do with Race or Cultural differences what goes unspoken is it’s a CLASS struggle and the people black and white are butt hurt about it the most find themselves in the same Class competing for resources and opportunities . Superiority today is not Racial or Cultural it’s the freedom and security of MONEY and getting it and keeping it.
The new census shows “AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ” should be stopped ASAP for BLACKS and be given to the WHITES since the WHITE race is now the minority and should be given all these benefits of AFFIRMATIVE ACTION and other BLACK benefits.
Need a RACE card for Whites with Unlimited miles !!!!!! LOL LOL
