Stickgalsick I’m sorry you have to put up with that & hope you’re doing ok. You stayed composed & dignified throughout. I’m pleased Lyft have backed you up too. More employers should have a similar policy!
Stay Good xx

JorgecTa David Sending you all my support from El Salvador, Central America. When I lived in the USA I went through some racist BS, but not as bad as what you went through. I am glad everything is OK. Greetings,amigo.

Diana Rison I’m from Issaquah and unfortunately know these fools. I’m so so sorry you had to endure them. Our daughters played basketball together & he’s always been a tool. I’ll gladly call your @lyft any day 24/7. You’ve got more humanity in your pinky than he does in his polar bear body
