Marriott just fired an employee because she's a Democrat

33. Sounds legit

But the time-share company where she had worked for 11 years dismissed her Friday, saying her candidacy and possible service on the commission created a conflict of interest. Janer was given the choice of leaving the campaign or resigning. She declined to do either and was fired.

Her termination letter, signed by Senior Vice President and Chief Audit Executive Julie Meyer, also stated Janer, who began her campaign in January, never notified her employer she was running for office. Meyer noted in the letter that she'd only learned of Janer's candidacy from press coverage of the primary election.

During a Sept. 17 meeting, the letter states, "you admitted that you had concluded that your supervisors would not authorize you to pursue your candidacy while remaining in your position, and for that reason you did not raise it to management's attention nine months earlier or any time thereafter."
