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.
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I would bet that this ‘rule’ is rescinded very quickly now that it has become a public phenomena.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................
“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.
“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.”
How big is she, would she be the one pulling you out of a wreck, I wonder?
My sentiments exactly.
I’m no fan of tattoos, but this is not a public-facing, customer service job. A willingness to run INTO danger is the biggest qualification. Seems like personal appearance should mostly take a back seat to this.
I can see lots of reasons to fire her. She shows an extreme lack of good sense and judgment. Do we really want someone as foolish as this to be on call to provide us with immediate emergency assistance? I think not.
I wonder, also, if she was fired for this reason because they could make it stick. Because the real reason she was fired was for being a typical incompetent ABF with an attitude.
