i think to a white person this might seem petty and greedy but I BET those execs were giving out these passes front left and center to people who were MUCH less talented/profitable than she was and this was just the straw that broke the camel's back. this was just a cherry on top of a microaggressive "ohmgee you're sew sassy" shit cake.

This is why I like working union, because I would be terrible at negotiating, even for something I’ve “earned”.
