    The gaming energy drink brand, G Fuel, reportedly fired 7 of their Partner and Talent Managers after they reported an executive to HR. The executive was accused of using derogatory slurs on a team video call. The executive is also accused of calling the team members, “lazy motherf*ckers.”

    First reported by gaming industry analyst, Jake Lucky, a few former employees took to Twitter to announce they had been fired or had voluntarily left the company. Many of the fired employees were allegedly told the layoffs were due to a restructuring for the company.

    What’s notable about the firings is that the employees who were fired were the same employees who reportedly filed complaints with G Fuel’s HR team about the executive’s slurs.

    Per Mr. Lucky, “What I’ve been told is that shortly after the upper figure from G Fuel used the derogatory remarks and slur, some employees in the call sent complaints to HR, and within 24 hours all 7 managers were fired.”

    Today G Fuel fired 7 of their partner/talent managers without warning. The employees were told it was a part of a "restructuring" for the company
