Summary

Walmart fired Dani Davis, a 6’4" cisgender woman, after a man who mistook her for transgender verbally threatened her in a women’s restroom at a Florida store.

Davis, visibly shaken, reported the March 14 incident to her immediate supervisor but was fired for not informing salaried management, allegedly creating a “security risk.”

Davis called the firing discriminatory. After viral backlash, Walmart offered to reinstate her with back pay.

Davis, a longtime employee, is uncertain about returning, citing fears of a hostile work environment.

    Are you asserting that she is lying about being accosted by a man for entering the women’s bathroom?

    Because if you aren’t, then I would be very interested to hear what “more than happened” could possibly justify his actions.

      I’m asserting that she is either lying or leaving out more to the story. Want my proof? What about any of her proof? What about the other side of the story. It smells like BS.

          So Walmart is the good guy? No mention of other employees being removed for how this was handled. The story still comes off as incomplete.

                Says the guy insinuating context to justify this attack, and accusing the woman attacked of lying, despite the fact that she was fired for not reporting the attack to a manager quickly enough?

                At this point, you’re just embarrassing yourself. Lemmy is still too small for everyone here not to see through this weak ass bait.

                  The 4 day old article about a Facebook post is the only bait around. I’ll wait for the whole story if there ever is one.

                No. That was actually a trap.
                Trying to get you to give out doxxifying information, like the year you married or how many kids you have and stuff like that.

                You sidestepped well.
