In today’s episode of How TF You Get Fired On Your Day Off? an Omaha software company employee got himself fired for allegedly hurling the n-Word at a flight attendant after she confronted the passenger and the group they were with, some of whom were reportedly being loud, drunk, obnoxious and maskless. The group of passengers appeared to be coworkers and some of them wore masks with their company’s logo on them.
In other words: Some racists just be trying to lose their job.
According to the Lincoln Journal Star, the whole thing took place Monday during a Delta flight from Omaha to New York. Multiple passengers reported a group of people who had been drinking in an Omaha airport bar just before boarding the flight and some of them had masks on with the Buildertrend logo on them and four of the group’s members were either not wearing masks or creating such a ruckus on the plane that they needed to be handled by someone—so a Black flight attendant took the initiative.
One passenger, Laura Austin, said when the attendant came back from the encounter she appeared “very shaken.”
“She told us that she asked some people to put their masks on, and someone called her the N-word,” Austin said.
The flight was already approaching its time to take off, but it returned to the gate and everyone was told to exit, presumably because of the incident. Austin said that when passengers were let back on, “noticeably fewer people” from the Buildertrend group returned to the flight. But of the four people reportedly causing all of the trouble, two of them were let back on the plane until someone from Delta came to talk to the flight attendant who was upset about them being there.
It’s unclear if the employee who used the slur was one of the two, but it has been confirmed that the vocally racist as hell employee was fired.
Buildertrend CEO Dan Houghton had this to say in a statement:
