Phillips said one of her superiors, a black woman, ordered her to suspend Benjamin Trinsey — a white manager — because of racial discrimination allegations against him that claimed he paid ethnic minorities less than white employees. Phillips argued Trinsey was not racist and did not have a say in employees’ wages. Still, Phillips followed the directive and suspended Trinsey. Two days later, she was fired.
So there’s actually another side to this. This White woman was a race traitor who took part in the war against her people. She actually fired an innocent White man. Bitch deserved to get her ass kicked in some way, and it’s hilarious that her treason didn’t buy her any favor. That said, it is still a matter of a race war, so it’s good that she won this case.
In contrast, Phillips said that the black manager of the Rittenhouse Square store had faced no disciplinary action. Around the same time, Paul Sykes, a black district manager under Phillips, faced numerous complaints concerning his management style. While the coffee giant investigated Trinsey and suspended him, it did not investigate Sykes.
Now, Starbucks needs to fire a bunch of Black people to make up for the White people who were fired.
