Inequality | HR worker claims she was reported for supporting Black Lives Matter

Social media has been filled with a mixture of anger, despair and feelings of sadness over the past few days following the news of George Floyd’s death.

Protests have since erupted across many US cities, while also prompting a global social media boycott that was dubbed Blackout Tuesday, where supporters of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement demonstrated their sorrow over the tragic news.

While the right to support a personal, philosophical, or religious movement is any employees’ prerogative, one worker has allegedly been reported for supporting the BLM movement.

Taking to Twitter user @Kathrina_Mia, who also claimed to work in HR, wrote “Bahahahahaha imagine trying to report someone to a company’s HR for supporting BLM.... and then the HR person is me.”
