Joshua Yarbrough says he knew something was up when he noticed newly installed cameras in the offices of the Dallas telecommunications equipment company where he worked.
It was 2018, and the 34-year-old Fort Worth, Texas man watched as his Black colleagues at Glow Networks Inc. were reprimanded for checking their phones during work and were moved away from one another in their workspaces. He noticed his non-Black co-workers didn’t get the same punishment.
Of 11 rooms in the office, two were monitored by cameras, and that’s where Black workers were told to sit, he said.
