Sean Pennis serious about Sean Penn with two anonymous whistleblowers who say they are part of his nonprofit organization helping with the Los Angeles vaccination campaign … and are working to the bone.
The Oscar winner reportedly sent a 2,200-word internal letter to his CORE employees this week – which was leaked to the LA Times – and he downloads it for comments in the comments section of a recent NYT article on Penn / CORE efforts at Dodger Stadium.
Penn allegedly attacked the 2 alleged CORE officials who claim that working conditions at the stadium are exhaustive, and possibly illegal … as they claim they are barely getting breaks and working 24-hour shifts.
The Times says he referred to his comments as “shameful entries” and “obscene criticisms”. That was the nicest part, because Penn added … “And for whoever is the author of these, understand that in every cell of my body there is a vitriol by the way their actions reflect so harshly on their brothers and sisters in arms . and here I will refrain from using the words with which I would choose to describe the character of his actions. “
Penn may have censored your language, but you can say that there is a Tom Cruise-esco boiling speech inside him.
He acknowledged that some CORE workers may have been working longer hours lately, saying that these are unprecedented times that require extra manpower … and it was his decision.
He also added this to any of his employees who are “predisposed” to complain or “whine” … “It’s called giving up. Leave CORE. Leave for your colleagues who don’t want to leave. Stop for your peers who deeply recognize that this is a moment in time. A moment of service that we all must incorporate at times to the point of collapse. “
And that was, as he himself admitted, a restrained Sean Penn.
