John Cruz: Fired from Fender

[gwangi]

Hey anybody know exactly what the scoop was on why he got fired from Fender?

 

[Stevorebob]

Fender appears to have dismissed Custom Shop Master Builder John Cruz over controversial Facebook post | Guitar.com | All Things Guitar

It was a meme. Not even specifically related to BLM,,, more a joke about protestors blocking cars...,
I can't believe he got sacked for that

I read the article. The key phrase is "appears to have been sacked ". So who knows. May have just been a convenient excuse for a culmination of things. Or his boss may have took it the wrong way. This is why you share things with your friends instead of broadcasting it to the world.
