Some words are just not appropriate in any context, especially a work relationship. So the boss used the term "******" to convey love in this instance....![cuckoo :cuckoo: :cuckoo:](/styles/smilies/cuckoo.gif)
"A federal jury in Manhattan has awarded $250,000 to an African-American worker who claims her boss used the N-word in a 4-minute rant about her professional behavior and work attire.
The worker, Brandi Johnson, worked at an employment agency called STRIVE that helps people from troubled backgrounds find work. Her boss, Rob Carmona, is also African-American, the Associated Press reports. STRIVEs model, according to a 60 Minutes story, is "part boot camp, part group therapy.
Carmona had testified the N-word has "multiple contexts" in the black and Latino communities, sometimes conveying anger and sometimes love. In Johnsons case, he said, the word was intended to convey love".
