Hotel Owner Tells Hispanic Workers to Change Names
In my humble opinion, that guy sucks. Sure, nothing he did was illegal, but morally, how can you ask someone to change their name for the sake of business? There’s no reason why having a Hispanic name would hinder business. In terms of asking them not to speak Spanish in front of him, I have less of a problem with that. There is a point to be made that in order to run a business efficiently, you have to be able to connect with your employees, and that speaking Spanish would hinder that, but there are about 15 counter-arguments that rule the idea of banning Spanish out. Not only does this cause bad press for Whitten’s hotel, but I’m sure it will end up being costly and time-consuming
If you can justify this guy’s actions (morally at least), please let me know!
