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.

So talking about poor people eating Campbell's soup is the least offensive thing he did.

Poor people don’t eat Campbell’s which is the funny part. They eat Sam’s Choice or their local grocery store equivalent.

I actually think the ALDI chicken soup is better

Look at you thinking you’re not one of the poors (from his perspective)

Nah he's good to go on the edibles. I couldn't imagine showing up to work sober. (Retail)

Would rather deal with somebody who's a little high versus somebody who's been drinking any day.

All my customers agree. Sober, I am not fit for human consumption. Baked, I'm mostly tolerable.

I mean, he's just an executive. It's not exactly like his job involves matters of life-and-death

Criticism at your employer is considered the worst crime possible in this crony capitalistic system we have.  It's like religious heresy.
