I would bet that Equinox owners voted Dem. They got what they voted for.
Equinox terminated her employment in less than a year because, the company said, she was late 47 times in the course of 10 months.

That is why I pity anyone who is a target of the Democrats like the January 6 protesters. Most likely the trial will be in a Democrat shithole with a Woke jury.
Look at how Andrew Gillum (former mayor of Tallahasee) got away with corruption just like former Democrat golden boy John Edwards did.
The concept or context of an "OJ Jury" means a lot more today. Go back and read how one of the OJ trial jurists gave OJ Simpson a black power gesture right after the trial ended.

This will surely be appealed.
The business likely has an "employee handbook" which has some rules employees must obey.
It's impossible today to trust your employees; maybe drug testing or speaking to her references could have prevented them hiring her in the first place.
When it comes to your money, it's us against them; the minorities and especially blacks think they "deserve" some of your money for some odd reason.

firing people for being few minutes late is harassment. i don’t know anyone who shows up on time always. nor do those faggot corporations pay people for showing up early. i guarantee you they just threw a book at that chick for another reason, being late is not a deal breaker anywhere in america.

Depends. Suppose she was manning the front desk on the first shift of the day. When she's late the manager would step in and do it. After 47 times in a year (basically every week) it might get a bit old. Also depends on the definition of "few minutes". 2-3 is not the same as 15-30.

Eh, any job I had where I was asked to be there on time I was there on time. I scheduled real estate showings for years. I was never late once. We're talking 10 showings in an afternoon and that would include other people being late. I was an ass hole though with buyers lingering around as I wasn't sales, was just filling in. In polite terms I was basically like we need to get the fuck out of here people, lets move.
I get traffic happens and other crap. But don't be late. There are very few reasons to be late. 47 times in 10 months is absolutely unacceptable and then get paid $11M+???? She should have been taken out back and shot. That's ~300 of possible days work time. Assuming it was 2 days off a week, we're talking being late ~23.5% of the time. That's fucking bull shit to the max. Then $11M??? I don't go after you FW on much, but your take on this is complete crap.
This honestly pisses me off. So not showing on time 1 in 4 days is acceptable???? We're fucked if that's okay. And you get paid $11M for being late 1 in 4 days. We're just fucked. Totally fucked....
Not sure if your point was just that Americans are late to shit, but this is an extreme case. 10 months being late 23% of the time. You're toast after 2-3 months of that happening. It's not harassment. It's running a business. Fuck off if you're not going to show up on time. I literally hate people that are late. Always some lie and bull shit excuse.

you are an outlier my man. i am talking life experience, most people i met or worked with were usually late few minutes. even in government, no one cared ever.
its only a problem when someone wants to get rid of you and suddenly posturing comes out about random minutia. shit like that got companies in trouble legally when they got called out on that. i’ve seen it. “you let x be late, so why you treat y different?”… court slaps fine.

From the time that I had a paper route, to going from there to working at a local supermarket after school, and beyond, it was ALWAYS expected that you showed up for work on time. In fact, I never had a job in my entire life where being on time wasn't important, and that included when I went into business for myself.
It seems that there are people that are OK with this woman getting $11.25 MILLION. I think it's just another sign of a failed state that is heading for collapse, but that's just my opinion.

I might be an outlier. Not doubting that. I'm just saying it's not acceptable to be late. Unless there was something major that hung you up. Highway shut down, family member died, etc..
It's easy for me to say as an insomniac. I'm awake at 3:30-4am central time. I still just don't get how people are late. And yes, I've experienced it from others and it pisses me off. No military training or anything like that. Just show up when you agreed to. Probably the biggest arguments my wife and I get in. I tell her we HAVE to go. It's time. When we're 10 minutes late to a function I'm pissed. Ruins it. Business is probably worse. You've lost all my trust and I'm a big trust guy.
I've wrangled that shit in though. Any event we get a hotel. If you're near the place you're supposed to be you generally cannot be late. Women are the worst with time. Either way, I just don't think you should be late. 1 in 4 days is not acceptable at all. That's not harassment. That's failing on your agreement to work.

That is why I'd have this documented like require time cards, a video feed from the Wyze camera at her front desk position that shows her starting at least 20 minutes late.
It would show she was arriving late more than a few minutes late and it was significantly showing up late.

I find it hard to believe that Equinix did not have a qualified HR manager. Under employment law nearly everywhere, one must document any employee discipline. On the first incidence of being late, there should have been a verbal warning documented with a memo. On the second occurrence, a written warning. The next late appearance should have a day off without pay. Only after such a sequence of documented events should the person be fired. Also, the policy on showing up late should be well explained in the employee manual and be job specific. That is, a customer service rep must be on time every scheduled work period while a janitor may have some flexibility. All employers should follow this procedure to protect themselves. Merely having a long list of late appearances will not justify a firing in a court of law and in fact may in fact show that being late is acceptable company policy.
If it were up to me, I would allow employers to hire and fire at will. It is the employer's company and he/she needs the best employees. But that is not how it is, and any company with more than a few employees had best put together an employee manual that spells out job descriptions and consequences for poor performance.

To be overturned on appeal. NY City is a lawfare scramble.
Showing up late or stoned to work is more or less standard operating procedure for innominates. Sanctifying it for optics is part of the process of killing the businesses by making the sleaze useful idiots think they can get in on the grift.

Sounds like the "mañana" attitude of the islands. My life experience, where people have responsibilities and get things done, on-time appearances are required. Doors open on time, meetings start on time, work starts on time. A person who thinks it is OK to be late is saying "all y'alls time is unimportant to me, I'll get there when I please." Being late shows disrespect. Even busy bosses bust their butt to be at meetings on time because they know their employees have things to do. Being late to work means others cover your post or customers are kept waiting.

here you go, as i said… payout due to preferential treatment, others constantly late weren’t fired:
“Data from employee swipe-ins would prove that several other non-Black managers had a track record of showing up late to work well after the start of their shift. Europe concluded that she was being punished by selective enforcement of the attendance policy, according to CBS News, which reported on the matter on Friday (May 26). A judge presiding over the case ultimately threw out claims of retaliation.”

That's not reality at all man. If you're given hours or an appointment you show up on time. I get jobs now where I can be flexible and people don't rely on ME being there. Get a job where you don't have a schedule if you want that lifestyle. They do exist. Just get the required work done and don't leave people hanging.
Not trying to be a jerk dude, but run a business. See how the 2 hour window thing works. Total dick move to be late. I'll give someone 5-10 minutes, but after that I have no faith or trust in anything moving forward and I leave. Even if it's only 5 minutes, doing that 23% of the time ain't acceptable. Leaving customers waiting for service? That's bull shit. I don't go to one local pub except for my volleyball league because the service sucks ass. Time is $$$. You eat people's time you lose business. We don't buy food there anymore the service is so bad. Being on time and average work effort is not difficult at all.

Time late matters though. Making a claim other were late means nothing. If they were 10 min late and she was 30 min late that is a difference.
Our judges are screwed. Some are shady for sure. If he asks how late she was 23% of the time he's racist. If whites are 5 minutes late, still unacceptable in my world, but if she was constantly late 20+ minutes, that absolutely matters.
Is someone covering for you? Did you lose a sale because no one was there. This has nothing to do with race and she was fucking late. I don't care about the other people. They should have fired the other people too. I'd bet a lot were black too or maybe hispanic. This is a bull shit story of people being bums.

If you needed more evidence that the jury pool in Manhattan is absolutely infected by full-blown Woke Mind Virus, check out this story:
A black woman worked for the gym Equinox. The company fires her, says she was late 47 times in 10 months. She says she was fired for being black. A jury just awarded her $11.25 million.
Ms. Europe’s tenure at the club was short-lived; Equinox terminated her employment in less than a year because, the company said, she was late 47 times in the course of 10 months. Ms. Europe held a different view of her firing, believing that her lateness was merely a pretext for discrimination, and soon after she filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court, arguing that she had been subjected to a hostile work environment and eventually let go because of her race and gender. Last week, a predominantly white jury of five women and three men agreed, delivering a verdict in little over an hour. The next day they awarded her $11.25 million in damages.
The swiftness of the jury’s decision and the size of the payout — $10 million in punitive damages and $1.25 million for the distress she suffered — follow a pattern similar to the verdict reached in the same courthouse just a few weeks before, in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation suit against Donald J. Trump. In both instances, the process and outcome suggest the ways in which recent transformative social movements around race and gender might reframe the way that juries think about the long shadow of emotional disruption that bigotry or sexual violence can produce.
If you own a business in New York City, sell it immediately. If you live there and you value common sense, leave there as quickly as possible. The city is lost.
