The revised list was expected to include more minorities regardless of their performance.According to the internal email viewed by the source, Lockheed’s executive Santiago Bulls contacted the whistleblower after a complaint with the company’s Human Resource Director, La Wanda Murler. Bulns wrote, “I got a call [human resources director] La wanda [Moorer] Regarding the diversity data on compar yojer last night. He took a run when he was approved by some of your approved and we were told that we need to fit in the box. I asked him to send a list of diversity names to simplify the task of finding the best in the group. ,Lockheed’s Human Resource Team allegedly provided specific instructions, such as increasing the number of people of color by reducing the number of “non-alphabetic” recipients by a similar number. A directive allegedly stated: “Increasing POC for ComP additive will result in removing the same count of non-altercate.”Whistbalore says he increased a moral complaint and warned that the policy was discriminatory and risky for the company. The management dismisses concerns, the HR lawyer allegedly responded that it was “low of two evils”.When he questioned what will happen if the team could not get enough minority candidates to swap the team, the moorr replied, “[T]He is priority for you to reach there. If you are coming back and saying that you cannot reach there and it is unnatural that I think the interaction turns into a professional field, what we are ready to obey the risk, and whether we should include a situation where there is legal activity that happens you will be part of that process.,Eventually, the whistleblower claims that he was forced to replace 18 white employees with 18 minority people on the bonus list. In an resignation letter shared with colleagues, he wrote, “I, under the direction of Lockheed, actively discriminated against high -performing persons, denied them high salary, refused to inspire him as a top artist.”Lockheed Martin has replied that it operates as a merit. A spokesman for the company said, “Lockheed Martin is a qualification and we are committed to recognizing performance, rewarding excellence and maintaining principles of merit and fairness.” The company said that the claims “raise the concerns that we are taking seriously and investigating.”The Trump administration consists of allegations as civil rights enforcement changes.
