Morgue Workers Fired Over Penis Cake

Three female workers at the Macomb County Medical Examiner's office in Michigan are jobless following an incident with an explicit cake. A death investigator, who filed the complaint with the EEOC, said the staff brought in a cake shaped like a black penis to eat while on the job just a day after the national news around George Floyd's death. The individual says the stunt was the latest event in a "hostile work environment" tainted with racism. The complaint alleged that workers there frequently made racist jokes, such as claiming black parents may better identify their dead son if shown a picture of his genitals. No discipline was initially handed out though several employees complained about the cake. Following a due process hearing, two morgue techs and an investigator were fired, while a fourth employee was put on paid administrative leave.
