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.
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.
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.
