Wetcoaster Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 what they did was stupid, immature and disrespectful to all veterans. That being said; the company is over reacting and will probably and justly be sued, they should have to pay, their coompany could have taken some other disciplinary action instead. Yes those girls did something dumb but not illegal, not enough to fire someone without cause. People make mistakes everyone here who says being fired is what they deserve should remember that they weren't fired for every mistake they made at work, no one is perfect. This is why social media is bad, a bunch of anonymous losers hiding behind a keyboard complaining led to two people losing their jobs and possibly careers, that's not right or fair.

That's What She Said Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Yea I'm not buying the whole momentary lapse in judgement, young people being stupid excuse. If someone, without her knowledge, took that picture and put it up online then sure, but she posed for the picture, then decided to put it up on Facebook later, and on top of that, tried to defend her actions. Wasn't until things got out of hand that she offered up an apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelownaCanucksFan Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Given the law on termination of employment in Massachusetts, a lawsuit would not appear to have any likelihood of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I forgot that the US still has antiquated labor laws, in Canada it would be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ambien Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 If your employee said "This is just us, being the douchebags that we are, challenging authority in general", would you want them working for you? Simple question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
