The Cosby Show alum Geoffrey Owens launches an Instagram show about work two years after he was job-shamed for working at Trader Joe's (https://etcanada.com/news/688689/the-cosby-show-star-geoffrey-owens-launches-instagram-show-about-work-2-years-after-trader-joes-job-shaming-incident/)

Titled Shift Happens, Owens' show will look at work and working people. “It’s been exactly two years now since I was job-shamed (https://www.primetimer.com/item/The-Cosby-Show-alum-Geoffrey-Owens-on-Trader-Joes-job-shaming-I-went-from-devastated-to-overwhelmed-with-positive-emotion-k4SXdN) on the internet and social media for taking a job at Trader Joe’s,” said Owens. "As you might know, that whole thing didn’t go as the shamers planned.”
