Yet another video of a store encounter featuring a maskless individual amid the novel coronavirus pandemic has gone viral. The latest one, apparently filmed more than one week ago at a Costco in Fort Myers, Florida, showed a man in a red “Running the World Since 1776” t-shirt screaming that he “felt threatened” as he approached the purported source of the threat.
The video was shared by film director Billy Corben and viewed more than five million times by people online.

Embarrassing the company in public has always been a fireable offense. In this modern world that’s easier to do than ever because you can always be linked to the company. Nobody will ever pass the regulation you want. And they shouldn’t. It’s a bad idea.

Until the dems hold the presidency AND the two houses.
Amen.
As soon as I see someone lying about ‘oxygen deprivation’ or other detriment, I know I’m dealing with either an ignorant moron or a Chicom useful idiot - if not operative.
Surgeons and surgical nurses have been wearing them for many decades, and without the little-girl whining and bitching of some ostensible men.
Never say never. I think it’s entirely possible. And I think it’s an excellent idea. Embarrassing a company online does no good. The employee is still fired. The mortgage in Atlanta company didn’t take back Mrs Rolfe despite the fact that their social media was basically shut down by negative comments. Oakland University in Michigan didn’t take back Mr. Wuestenberg, despite them having to take down their Facebook page. And the comments on this insurance company’s Facebook page are overwhelmingly positive. So how does that help this guy? Would you support the insurance company firing this guy just for his T-shirt alone even if he didn’t have his outburst? Because some of the comments on the insurance company Facebook page are calling this T-shirt white supremacist and imperialist. What if there was no outburst? What if he was videotaped just wearing this T-shirt and his employer fired him? Do you support that? You wouldn’t want any protections in place at all to protect someone in that situation? Livelihood ruined just for wearing a T-shirt?
Unacceptable and un-American.
Dude is a Snowflake who melted down.
Watched the video. Is it really an elderly woman? It sounds like an indian male.
Or someone like me who works under contract and specifically made sure the contract had no so called "morality clauses". Short of being convicted of a felony, if the company "fires" me they are going to not only be paying me for the next three years to sit at home and do nothing but they are also going to handing me a huge early termination penalty upfront.
No it will NEVER happen. The lobbyist would kill it if it started. And it would get killed in court. Somebody would violate their NDA on social media, get fired, sued, and the courts would point out that the law is beyond stupid and entirely unenforceable.
If your behavior get tied to the company and causes the company embarrassment, buh bye. There’s NOTHING new about this concept. The only difference is how much easier it is now to do something stupid and get it tied in public to your company. People should be smart. And your “what ifs” are all strawmen and pointless. Reality is the guy acted like a stupid baby, and it got linked to his employer. He’s a moron, and probably should have been fired just for that.
I love the ones that claim respiratory illness. Guess what kids, if you actually have a respiratory problem then you have at least one of the comorbities, are at much higher risk of dying from this, and should probably be taking EXTRA precautions.
Now for the record I hate the masks and have a really hard time pretending I’m sick when I’m not. But whatever. Rules is rules. Put it on, go about life.
Do we know this is really an elderly woman? Are elderly women using apps like facial recognition on their phones? I’m assuming they are still using those Jitterbug flip phones you see on afternoon tv show commercials.
He didn’t embarrass his company online. This had nothing to do with his company. He wasn’t representing his company and he wasn’t wearing a company T-shirt. As a matter of fact, he was the victim. He was videotaped against his will. And then that video was put on social media against his will . His company inserted themselves into the matter in which they had no business. And then they decided to fire him for something that had nothing to do with their business and did not take place while he was at work or on their time. That needs to be absolutely 100% illegal! And I have no problem saying that or advocating for it.
Chicomm useful idiot.
That’s not the way the world works these days, regardless of if you or I like it.
If someone goes ape in public, good reason or bad, it *WILL* be on social media in minutes or hours. People who don’t want to adapt to that need to find a way to be independently financially self sufficient.
There’s all kinds if stuff I’d like to say and people I’d love to tell off to their faces, the reality is that doing so would get me fired, end of subject.
