Fired for poor taste in art, or stupid enough to make it permanent on the back of her head?
I think tats are stupid and ugly.
I also see no reason to fire her. I wouldn’t care if the person pulling me out of a wrecked car had a skull face tattoo, just as long as I got out.
That’s definitely a “neck tattoo”, as well as being on the back of her head.
I just tune out the rest of what they say
Really not sure why it matters much what place a firefighter has had tattooed. Wouldn’t she normally at work have a helmet on? I would also give firefighters more leeway than many employees.
Exactly. What does having or not having a visible tattoo have to do with fighting a fire?
I would bet that this ‘rule’ is rescinded very quickly now that it has become a public phenomena.
The Mobile Fire Department must be run by idiots................
“Black Progressive Firefighters Association.” Uh oh, trouble!
More that being ugly, such a tat shows poor judgement, something not welcomed in FDs.
She seems like such a team player, especially after filing three grievances during her trial period.
True story:
A few years ago I met a lady online, originally from Mexico and quite proud to point out she was high born, not some commoner. She had been working for one of the large home improvement companies in Houston, but had been moved/promoted to the home office.
She said they were disrespectful, and discriminatory against her. Her associates at work were mean. She had already filed a complaint against the company.
For what? I asked. “Racism, of course!” she declared.
I said, “Well, maybe they just don’t like you.”
And that, fellow FReepers, was the end of that date.
Militant “strong black woman” created a situation that got herself in trouble and is now looking for a winning lottery ticket because you know....racism.......I’m betting she hits it AND gets her job back.
Saw this type of perpetual victimhood by minorities for a long time in the DoD ......and it usually worked more times than not.
It’s on her neck. But sounds like she was an ahole no matter what and aholes get fired.
I have a 30YO nephew who’s a firefighter in North Texas. Every time I see him, he’s showing more ink, but no neck tattoos yet.
“I think tats are stupid and ugly.”
Not only that...damned expensive.......and the only thing more expensive than getting ink is getting removed.
“Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.”
Leviticus 19:28 NIV
Yeah it’s Old Testement but I live by it.
What other people do is there business.
I came in without ink....that’s the way I plan to go out.
Can she do the job? That’s what I would be concerned about.
I predict a huge business for tattoo removal in the next 10 years. Btw, it hurts as much as getting one. I knew one lady who got an image of David Bowie on their shoulder after he died. Who?
I’ve thought about it, and the only tattoo that makes any sense to have is “Mom’. There’s nothing other person/place/thing in the world that will be guaranteed to have a place in your heart, as long as you live.
Says “I’m stupid”
“Can she do the job?”
Exactly......no doubt physical qualifications have been lowered to allow for the weaker sex.
If she can’t carry my fat ass down 3 flights of stairs and out to safety she’s a fail IMO.
I’m amazed at the number of people you see in public nowadays with visible tattoos.
Tattoos sure are popular nowadays.
I sure don’t understand when and how tattoos became so popular. But it does seem the tattoos are everywhere nowadays.
Well, she can consider the military now - they’re so desperate now they’ll take anyone with a tattoo.
Our downtown area has many Tattoo parlors, and several no downtown.
But we have a large military presence as well. Any time you have military there will be tattoo places. Tattooing used to be illegal in many states, but laws have changed since the 60’s generation took power...............
