One for the “I got fired today” books.

Postby The Black Forrest » Wed Jan 15, 2025 5:23 pm

Some social media influencer(didn’t know him) decided to go to the packers/eagles game with his girl friend and wear their gear. They knew it was going to be rough as he commented about going into the belly of the beast.

Well?…one knucklefuck didn’t disappoint. Something went down on the field and the guy started harassing the girl friend. Continuously insulting her and repeatedly using “She’s an ugly, dumb cunt” until the influencer told him to stop.

An Eagle’s security guard recognized him and now he is banned from the stadium.

Now the funny part? Knucklefuck works for a consulting firm, a minority owned firm, which works with DEI issues. They fired him.

I don’t get it. Why would someone who works at a DEI firm all day crash out like that over a stupid game where you watch a few men run with a ball in opposite directions?

FUCK ISRAEL! I support peace, therefore I stand with Palestine. I want a bi-national solution, a state in which Jews and Palestinians can coexist peacefully. The onus is on Israel to stop this - it can do it anytime by bringing a ceasefire and ending apartheid.

Well, from a privacy/organized labor perspective, the employer might've wrongfully terminated them and they'd have grounds for lawsuit. Not 100% sure that there is standing or not.
The argument is that the company can terminate over incidents that happen on the clock or in workplace but shouldn't be able to or can't, for anything that isn't at work or off the clock.

It’s a bit like a sobriety coach getting caught on a very public bender. Kinda undermines your faith in their ability to do the job.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Theoretical it could be grounds for employment discrimination over political beliefs. However, if the company has a specific policy against sexism, then it would not be wrongful termination because it would be consistent with company policy. And I doubt the case would be that strong in this instance. The company has a strong argument to make that the employees association with this sexist behavior is disruptive to the workplace, and thus grounds for termination.

As a business owner, I'd have fired him for that if he'd worked for me, since I wouldn't want him blowing up on my female employees, contractors, or clients. That's the kind of behavior which would've kept him from getting hired in the first place had I known about it beforehand. I don't need to be held liable for fostering a hostile work environment or something.

It's not a given that they'll be the same person on the clock as they are off the clock. Some people can have markedly different split personalities. For me, work is like a game where I fake a persona that is for business. I show up and do the tasks asked of me to the best of my abilities and that is all that should really matter. I know people in workplace don't truly give any damn about me and the same is true for me towards them. But I still do what I can to play along but never admit fault or do anything that could conceivably backfire.

Mentored? Cohn was McCarthy’s chief counsel during the Army-McCarthy hearings.
