A young black employee of the Brookefield, Illinois zoo was fired for posting a picture of herself on Instagram in her uniform, tagging her place of employment, and saying, "Wassup y'all? At work serving these rude ass white people."
As is such with these social media blunders, the girl's comment quickly went viral and gained the attention of the Brookefield Zoo. They issued a statement:
We became aware of the actions of a single employee which we agree are unacceptable. This employee's statements in social media are in violation of our policies and do not reflect our institution's values. We have zero tolerance for these kinds of divisive behaviors. We treat all employment matters confidentially, but rest assured that we have taken prompt action to remedy the situation.
We hope you continue to hold Brookfield Zoo in high regard and not let the actions of one individual overshadow the longstanding good work of the Chicago Zoological Society.
