“As an HR director, she ultimately lost the confidence of her peers, leadership and many employees who no longer felt comfortable engaging with her.

“We value diversity of thought and respect Melissa’s personal views and the views of all employees; however, when those views create a hostile working environment, we must make difficult decisions to part ways.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia congressional candidate, said she received a message from Melissa and shared it on Twitter.
