Employees accused Laura McQuade of having 'effectively gaslit and silenced...marginalized staff thus creating a toxic work environment,' by exploiting the 'language of diversity, equity, and inclusion' to 'manipulate and silence those with differing opinions and perspectives.'
June 25, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The United States’ largest abortion chain has fired one of its New York executives for allegedly discriminating against black employees, amid a growing furor over perceived racism that has led to a rare acknowledgment of Planned Parenthood’s racist origins.
The board of directors for Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) announced Tuesday that it has fired Planned Parenthood of Greater New York (PPGNY) chief executive Laura McQuade over allegations that she treated workers in a hostile and even racist manner, the Daily Caller reports.
“We reject what we view as McQuade’s Trumpian leadership style,” reads a letter by a group of affiliate employees calling itself Save PPGNY, “and envision a Planned Parenthood where all our staff, in particular our black and other staff of color, are honored for their expertise and included in the decision-making process.”
Among the group’s allegations against McQuade are that she has a habit of “brutally shaming staff members in internal meetings in front of their colleagues,” that she “lost the 18 million dollar surplus she inherited and replaced it with a 2020 projected deficit of 6.2 million dollars for the first six months,” that she presided over “unprecedented rates of staff turnover” resulting in a loss of professional experience “so profound as to be detrimental to every aspect of the organization.” She also apparently “immediately laid off 134 employees and furloughed another 100” in response to COVID-19 instead of cutting her own salary or the salaries of fellow executives.
Most disturbingly, they charge that “PPGNY, under the leadership of CEO Laura McQuade, has effectively gaslit and silenced their marginalized staff thus creating a toxic work environment,” by exploiting the “language of diversity, equity, and inclusion” to “manipulate and silence those with differing opinions and perspectives.”
