Macmillan Response

10y

We are sorry that this employee rates his time at Macmillan negatively. We take complaints of racism very seriously. In response, our practice is to conduct an investigation --as we did in the case cited here –and take appropriate action. Terminating someone for making a complaint is unlikely to be an appropriate response. It was not the appropriate action in this instance and it is not what happened in this case.
