    Let me preface this - not directed specifically at you.

    I think it's sad that we live in a culture that has devolved to the point that when a idiotic comment is made, its not acknowledged as just that and not somehow immediately elevated to inflammatory.

    As a result, a large portion of the population has their public "perceived self" and then who they really are or "normal self" that they feel compelled to do in some covert manner. Just seems dishonest to me.

    For example, "Mark - that comment you just made was idiotic" - end of story.

    Before people felt the need to post their every thought on Facebook and Twitter, their "public self" was only known to their immediate circle of friends and they were in little danger of being fired for being stupid. Choices.

    That happens even without social media.
    Someone who has a thing for watching midget wrestling really isn't going to make a public commotion about it. But they might go watch midget wrestling with a few other random people who like it.
    Sometimes I like reading steamy historical romance novels, I am not gonna go bleating about that at work.
    I also don't show people how fucking sick I am at work. I am a manager, I need some decorum.

    It's part of life. We generally don't show many people who we really are unless they are close to us.

    I still think it's bullshit. That you can be fired for shit you say off the clock. Just more government fucking control and putting there thumb down on you

    Agreed. I’ve had that same argument with company owners/Presidents I’ve worked for. Fortunately, I’ve won every time ... so far.

    Ummmm how does this in any way relate to the government?

    It’s actually just the opposite in this case. The government actually DOESN’T give a rip and do anything about it. Ironically, I think that’s his beef in this instance.

    While I agree with his beef, I also don’t think govt should have any input. It SHOULD be up to the business. And just like the employee that spouts off, there may/may not be repercussions for the choices made.

    With laws and shit that allows you to be fired for shit you do on your own time.

    So the government is "putting their thumb down on you" by allowing companies to make their own personnel decisions? That's an impressive level of ridiculousness.

    Ok, but you think it's ok for a company to be able to fire you for your opinion on your personal time?

    Are you even reading anything that anyone is typing? Including yourself?
