Traditionally, HR is considered a safe space for employees to express their concerns about colleagues or management.
That wasn’t the case at G Fuel, an energy drink brand which fired several talent managers one day after they complained to HR about company founder and CEO Cliff Morgan using offensive language to describe both current and former employees during a meeting, Digiday reported.
Nearly a dozen current and former employees have shared their experiences with Digiday, recounting the now infamous meeting. During a check-in video call in June, Morgan blamed the talent managers for the Hauppauge, NY-based company’s declining sales, using derogatory terms to describe their ability and demanding they improve their performance.
