Christian Man Fired From $60K Job for Sharing 'Audacity' Film With Lesbian Co-Workers
- Thread starter Angel4Truth
- Start date
Youre retarded and didnt read the article, he got into trouble for what he did on his own time, in his own home on his off day to start with.
They have no right to his personal time, off time, break time, etc..
Nope, unless you continued to do it over and over after i told you no thanks, im not interested. Then that crosses into actually being harassed.
Correct interpretation, some people dont read the articles before they comment.

Oh, the irony. :chuckle:
Like several people here have noted, some companies have policies about what you post on FB (if you identify them as your employer on your profile).
But even then, let's say this guy was threatening her over FB. You don't think the company should be able to even call him into the office and tell him to cut it out?

A day after being called into the office, Routson said that another lesbian worker was hired to work in the facility. Just as he shared his faith with all of his other co-workers, Routson felt compelled to share his faith with the new lesbian worker.
Could be that he's done this over and over again.
He was disciplined, because he didn't stop, after being told to stop, even on his own time - the warning came from what he did on his own time - he was told not to do it again. Period, he did it again and was fired.
10 to one, unless there are other facts involved here, he will win a lawsuit. Others have won similar suits.
Good for him, he has to support his ill wife and children somehow.
Tell me why you believe he shouldnt.

Maybe he should have thought of them before he talked his way (literally) out of the job he had.

Yet I bet you support a company's right to fire someone who smokes pot "on their own time."
Oh, the hypocrisy.
Yes, if you had to drug test for the job you have. In other words you know up front that its not acceptable to be in your system at work.
Other than that, no, because i believe what someone does on their own time is their own business provided they didnt agree to certain things about their own time as a condition of employment.
(pot is illegal in most places, disobeying the law is a violation of most conditions of employment)
Since America and most of the rest of the world seems to be on a one-track mind to grant liberty and justice, human dignity, and inclusion for all, this does not surprise me.Christian Man Fired From $60K Job for Sharing 'Audacity' Film With Lesbian Co-Workers on Facebook
Because of course the lesbians cant just say, im not interested.
Welcome to new gay order. Anyone who doesn't agree will not be allowed to work.
We have a political climate of being too whiny and feeling "wronged."
And this naturally leads to treating others with zero sensitivity. All stripes of ideology are guilty of this and it has to stop. Some favorite stand-up comics will no longer perform at colleges these days because of "language police." And many nonbelievers I know personally are afraid to stand up and be honest about their beliefs when around Christians.
We are becoming too afraid.

So if a non-evangelism policy was in a signed handbook, his firing would be justified?

Provided he willingly agreed to it as condition of employment, yes. (not they added it later and he never signed off on it and or it doesnt violate the law)
In other words, he agreed not to even evangalize on his own time.
I agree, and believe thats how it should be but unfortunately that isnt the way it is, so under what we have they should all be represented fairly under what we have.
In other words, a law shouldnt be benefitting only some employees but not others.

The guy talked himself out of his own job. Live and learn.

Well that settles it then, right?
An employer makes a policy and that settles the question about what one can and cannot due on their own time.
When did the company handbook start to trump the constitution?

I think the company should but right out of what people are doing on their own time.
If someone is being threatened then they can call the police. The company is not some private oligarchy that can trample the first amendment rights of individuals.

Out of curiosity, should the NFL suspend a player for beating his wife on his own time?
