"consider yourself fired immediately....and go ask Donald Trump for a job at one of his locations"

I have officially been exposed to the Trump hate bandwagon in full force today...

I was leaving a meeting with a client today in ______ and there was a group of people (10-12) outside the building protesting or rallying, a pro-Trump group. As I am walking outside I stop to check my cell phone for emails missed etc, and I overhear the group chanting and making remarks of people as they walk by...extremely racist remarks...my favorite however is of the one they directed at me. ... one lady in particular yells towards me as I am walking away, and tells me to go back to Mexico. That the US doesn’t need people like me dressing up in a suit to go interview with companies in _____ to clean their toilets. That me and my people also try to take the more educated and more deserving white person's job.

It did not take long to get my attention...As I turn around to respond, I notice that I recognize the woman, and she quickly recognizes that she knows me as well. She is my employee...and someone that I have placed to work for my client that I just went to go visit. I walk calmly back to her, asked her to please repeat herself in front of her group as to what exactly she said. Because last time I checked...this mexican as she put it, is the one that she reports to, and was helping her find a job, and if she was more educated and more deserving as she so eloquently stated...she would not be coming to this mexican for any help...because she lacks an education and has been unable to hold a job for the past 5 years, however I gave you the opportunity and took a chance on you. What cracks me up about all of this is that on top of all this, you are working at this office that you claimed treated you so well and you completely loved, but now outside protesting? Do your friends here know where you work?

Due to the fact that the client called me to tell me you have been gone for the past 2 hours, instead of being at your desk, consider yourself fired immediately....and go ask Donald Trump for a job at one of his locations..you wont want to lose that to someone like me in a suit..

Explanation:

This is the story that was up a few minutes ago, but had to be yanked. A commenter, meaning no harm, wanted people to see the comments the original author had received after posting the story to Facebook. Because I had agreed to republish the piece with no identifying marks, and didn’t want the commenter to be hurt by HRs to hide the comment, I pulled the diary.

Thankfully, my dear GF is smarter than I and said, “Just copy the thing and post it new.”

And so, thanks to the lovely and talented GF, here’s the funny story.

Please, if you know the original author, do not post details here.


It was originally a Facebook post, so treat its veracity with the same caution you would anything found there.
