Former employees airing dirty laundry...
I recently ran across an interesting blog, http://queenofsky.journalspace.com/, by a former employee of Delta airlines. It seems she was fired for posting pictures of herself in her flight attendant's uniform online. Her story is pretty interesting. From her blog:
-Remember, I had removed all of the uniform pics from my blog once Delta suspended me without warning (on Sept. 25), and they still fired me a month later.
-I had also filed a sex discrimination complaint with the EEOC three weeks PRIOR to being fired. That's called retaliation, folks.
-There are TONS of Delta male employees in uniform on the Web, none of whom have been disciplined. Delta's firing policies are arbitrary and discriminatory.
-SEXISM is ALIVE and WELL in 21st century America!
You can read about her interviews with CNet News, Time and other media on the site. She also has a book coming out detailing her experience.
Just imagine the public relations nightmare for Delta--an airline already teetering on bankruptcy. What do you think? How would you have handled the situation?
