Summary

We are seeing a new wave of lawsuits that illustrate a new twist to the push-pull between a companies right to choose who they work with and employee and discrimination based on ideology or activities that occur outside of work. From Amy Cooper (The Central Park Karen) suing her former employer after being fired for the viral incident in central park to Beauty Influencer Amanda Ensing suing Sephora for alleged defamatory remarks made when cutting ties with her. Conservative 'comedian' and commentator Steven Crowder has said he is suing YouTube for demonetizing and striking his channel, he is ostensibly suing for discrimination based on viewpoint, but we will see. The line between workplace behavior and outside-of-work behavior is clearly blurring due to social media. So where do we go from here?

0:15.2	going to keep talking about it, but this is politically related, which is interesting for me.
0:22.8	And I think we're going to see more lawsuits like it, which I will explain in a moment.
0:30.6	So I think we should just get to a quote and get into it. Today's quote comes to us from Albert
0:37.1	Einstein, quote, the world as we have created. It is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed
0:45.6	without changing our thinking. And since today we are talking about thoughts, beliefs,
0:52.2	and where those things bump up against public perception, I thought the thought quote was appropriate.
0:59.5	Let's get into today's episode. Hey there. Welcome to the Emily show. I'm your host,

2:17.8	getting into an interesting place in America, in social media, in work life balance, where the
2:25.8	things that are done outside of work can affect what's happening at work, can affect your job,
