The C.O.W.S. Neutralizing Workplace Racism 06/21/24. A C.O.W.S. investor informed Gus about a Florida teacher who might lose her teaching license as a result of wearing a face mask with a "black lives matter" slogan. For years, Gus T. has vigorously discouraged wearing any sort of paraphernalia or clothing branded with political messaging. It's a presidential election year, so expect an abundance of rhetoric and verbal sparring over candidates. Do not participate in these conversations on the job. Even if all of your co-workers are classified as black, it's not logical to assume that all of your black colleagues support "black lives matter" or any other political ideology or slogan. Your clothing/attire should not attract unnecessary attention or distract from your primary workplace objective: making as much money as possible while learning everything that is constructive. Also relating to clothing in the workplace, hours before this segment aired live, a White Man shot 14 people in Fordyce, Arkansas - a town of just over 3,000. 3 people were killed. The incident reminded Gus T. of the 2022 TOPS Buffalo massacre, were black employees lost their shoes escaping a White gunman. In the event of an earthquake or White Terrorist attack, workplace footwear/clothing should not hamper your ability to save your life. This week is Juneteenth, and that should also be irrelevant to your workplace attire and performance. If you're classified as black or non-white, avoid joining any projects or committees designed to celebrate this "negro holiday." In fact, don't be surprised if your White co-workers have an unsolicited snide remark about the newest federal holiday. #NoJuneteenthInArkansas #TheCOWS15Years #SafetyFirst INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
