Why shouldn't he

Why should he?

[-] Mojave@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

To keep a clean work culture. To keep racists away from the work environment.

If the guy was talking to his kid like that, I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume it was a black guy yelling at his kid, and not being a racist. Maybe it was a white guy, but that doesn’t sound like something a white guy would yell at their kid, even a racist.

Not all black people think that using the n-word is ok and many will tell you that no matter who is using it, the word has a racist undertone.

When you work for an employer that makes it a point to embrace multiculturalism it's not the kind of language you can use while you're working.

"clean work culture" = "It's not enough when a worker does their job, they also have to adjust their behavior to their employer's wishes, both at work and in their free time."

Yell the N word at a work meeting, see how comfortable your coworkers get

This wasn't on their free time. Are you ignorant on purpose or just completely clueless?

During a virtual meeting isn't an employee's free time...even if their mic is supposed to be off. Lol
