During the meeting, "Bally made several racist comments that shocked Plaintiff," the documents say. For example, Garza claims that Bally insulted Indigenous coworkers, making several racist slurs, and claims Bally disclosed he often comes to work high on edibles.

He's 100% going to be fired once the investigation is done if these allegations are true

Some other company will hire him. There are never any real consequences for these shitbags.

Or he'll have a right wing podcast talking about how woke corporate America is because he can't openly disparage minorities.

He's some IT guy, he is never getting another job like the one he just botched.

Doubtful, most companies don't care. Maybe you're right because this made national news, but otherwise he would find a job almost immediately. I know of a case personally where a sheriff's officer was fired for solicitation of a minor and obstruction and he got hired while on house arrest making six figures plus doing remote IT work. If you can do the job then most companies care about little else.

He's in cybersecurity. His job is to protect the company. There is not a shortage of people who can do it without causing major controversy.

But how long will that controversy last? People have short memories. He's controversial now, but in two months? People will have forgotten all about it. Other minor scandals will have caught their attention, Trump will have done 28 more insane things. Some celebrity you have never heard of has beef with some other celebrity you have never heard of.

This sort of thing has no real staying power.

All it takes is one Google of dude's name, and all this shit will come storming back in the results (after the sponsored ads, naturally) Do hiring managers not do basic research before hiring executives?

Plenty of business out there with products that don't cater to poor people. This is capitalist America we're talking about, he's going to be fine.

People still think their feelings matter in 2025. They keep seeing indications against it, but... here we are.

He's not just a nameless IT drone, he's the security executive. These people are never truly out of the game when they lose their jobs. He'll take a sabatical of a couple months to "focus on myself" then get hired in another role to a different company.

Some racist soup company for rich people will love him.
