You can’t makes this stuff up—a Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation employee comes to the company Halloween party dressed as rancher brandishing a lasso, which conjured images of lynching.
Offending employee has been suspended without pay and all PART employees are required to attend sensitivity training. Better that grown men and women –even if Halloween is on a Friday— don’t engage in such behavior on the taxpayers’ dime, no matter how they claim it’s “team-building exercise.” Great idea, says PART director Scott Rhine–next year’s Halloween party ain’t happening.
