On this week's Neutralizing Workplace Racism, we address a devastating eruption of physical, lethal violence targeting Black employees across the country. According to investigators, a dispute over a work schedule and text messages led to a fatal shooting of 32-year-old Brandon Lucas, a privileged black worker inside a Las Vegas Five Below store. We follow this with the tragic shooting inside Wilmington Hospital, where police confirmed that 19-year-old black intern Ethan Hillman was targeted and killed by a black intern. Next, we look at a glaring corporate betrayal out of St. Louis, where two non-white Starbucks employees were fired immediately after they successfully fought back and disarmed a pair of armed robbers. We also analyze the horrific murder of 44-year-old Alexis Hill, a black female Georgia Dollar General manager who was gunned down following an argument over a $1.58 transaction for a pack of hamburger buns. Amid record-breaking regional heatwaves, Gus delivers a vital reality check: between coworker hostility, non-existent corporate security, and ruthless corporate liability policies, the workplace has never been more dangerous. Your absolute priority on the clock is no longer corporate validation or career advancement—it is deploying emergency defensive strategies to survive your shift alive and in one piece. Tune in on Apple Podcasts and YouTube to arm yourself with raw strategies to protect your life. #WorkplaceViolenceAgainstBlackEmployees #WorkplaceRacism #TheCOWS17Years #NeutralizingWorkplaceRacism Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#
