Texas teacher fired over comments made on Twitter about illegal immigrants - Sensationalist Headlines

So? That's what it does on my Facebook profile as well. Again, you're dodging my question: I've said similar asinine shit on my public profile, I've said some people should get the death sentence and I've said it in jest and in serious contexts. Should I also get fired? Completely irrelevant. Was he working in a professional capacity when he wrote the statement? Because if not, him being "unprofessional" is completely irrelevant. And if I was your customer and I learned you said that shit, I would wonder what the context was - and then not really give a shit because it's none of my business. Yeah, because that's a very different situation. Like, I'm behind firing this lady because not only are her views actually damaging, they're contextually horrible AND she was speaking them in a professional capacity in her place of work. This is why your example is garbage, because none of that applies to it. It was outside his place of work, we have no context to if what he said was a genuine wish of death or just your average dislike of cyclists, and regardless there's kind of a huge difference between "cyclists should get run over" and "gas the jews heil hitler".

Depends. I don't say any of this shit in my public profile under my name because it seems clear as fucking day it's not worth the risk. You think it is. Are you sure you're not taking offense? No. It actually isn't. But hey man, dunning kreuger away! There are laws that govern how insurance brokers act professionally. I guess you don't care about rules that govern that, that's fine. But don't act like you have any relevant answers. Holy fucking shit I can't reiterate things with you any more than I have. Read, or don't. He said this under his personal name, which also states exactly where he works. If we lose business over this, and we collapse as a company, he won't have a job anyways. Okay, so we should run our business how the 1/100 responds, and not how the public at large responds. Okay. You've got anymore bright ideas on how to kill a business? Oh boy. Justify violence as a joke where it works for you, because you've done stupid things in the past. so it's easier to say "the rules are dumb" than "oh I fucked up" lol

Oh man and she posted her own phone number? I can only imagine the amount of fucking troll calls she got as a result of the image circulating, Its almost poetic really. I bet she'll think its the Mexican Texas collusion conspiring against her.

I think it is in context to what I say, yes. You don't seem to care about context, which is I think part of the problem. What does Dunning-Krueger have to do with anything? There's no cognitive bias here. What you say outside of your place of work is irrelevant. What he does for a living is irrelevant to what he says outside the office. When it's about asinine shit like this, it's irrelevant. lmao him saying "just run them over" isn't going to make your whole company tank - this is what I mean, firing the guy was a knee-jerk reaction that eliminated any context from what he said. It's a awful thing for a company to do to their employees. And again, it's this anger that you project at the start and end that makes me think you're irritated and upset. Seriously, calm down dude. You weren't the guy who got fired, why are you working yourself to the bone trying to defend your employers decision? Peak capitalism. I'm honestly not even sure what you're saying at this point I'm... not even remotely annoyed. Confused, sure, but not annoyed.

I don't think context is a cure all for saying stupid things in public. Because you just assumed "it's irrelevant" like you have a lot of experience in this. You don't. It's relevant. You aren't really nearly as qualified to tell me it's not "relevant" as you think. But hey, don't pause for a second to ask "What don't I know here", just power through, like you always do. If people had the perception that we hire anyone, including those that advocate for violence, then we do have a problem on our hand. I'm hardly "working myself to the bone" by trying to explain your assumptions as being just assumptions. You've admitted to saying stupid things that would get you fired. You're guilty of a similar thing as the person I'm talking about. You think it's justified, no doubt, like the fired person in my story does. You're justifying the violence of making that statement because you would have to admit that you yourself are guilty of something stupid, so you're instead doubling down spending a weird amount of time making it known that you really shouldn't be held accountable for your words. Unless they're nazi words. Sure. You can assume my emotional state. You assure me I can't assume yours. Do you see how asinine this is? No?

Dude, I'm a Socialist and this is still a terrible argument. If you pulled that shit in a socialist system you'd still be fired from your job, the only difference is that you'd be voted out collectively by your co-workers instead of only management.

This is a weird point to bring up considering the person this thread is about, Georgia Clark, stated on her public twitter account, named Georgia Clark, that "my phone number is [#], and my cell is [#]. Georgia Clark is my real name."

lol imagine being so cuckolded by your employer you're not allowed to have opinions.
