KFC Manager Fired for Discriminating Against Trans Woman
Source: Time
The transgender job applicant was initially offered the job on the spot.
A spokesperson for Kentucky Fried Chicken said Tuesday that the company has fired a manager at one of the eatery’s locations has been fired for violating the company’s anti-discrimination policy after the manager offered and then rescinded a job to a trans applicant, BuzzFeed reports.
Last week, Georgia Carter, a transgender woman, says she was offered a job at a KFC location in Richmond, Virginia. Just an hour later Carter says the store manager called her to take back the offer. “He was like, ‘My supervisor and I have a problem because on your license it says ‘male’ but you’re…’ and I was like, I’m transgender.’”
Carter says the manager then rescinded the job offer because they were unsure which bathroom Carter should use. The manager denies that Carter was offered a job, conceding only that she was interviewed.
