Now you are becoming personal, so I suggest you re-evaluate your perspective. One may exercise one’s constitutional rights. The constitution gives us the right to give the one fingered salute to whomever we decide should receive it.

The constitution does not, though, protect the salute giver from the consequences of the one fingered salute action. If, in doing so, the giver of the salute offends her employer or causes her employer to decide her action is detrimental to the employer’s reputation, then the employer is within the employer’s constitutional rights to fire the salute giver and relegate her to the status of formerly employed.

It amazes me that some folks, apparently including you, fail to understand that performing an overtly offensive or obscene action may result in an unintended consequence: like getting fired or simply punched in the snout.

This has nothing to do with President Trump and everything to do with plain ole civility. Action. Consequence. End of story. Don’t want the consequence, then simply don’t perform the action.

I am an employer. And I have been employed. If I offended my employer, the employer has the right to let me go. I have never been employed for life. If the actions of my employee cast a detrimental light to my business, then one of the solutions available to me is to fire the employee.

The salute giver at the basis of this thread is a fool. She lacks discretion and showed little civility. She has paid the price of her action. Without a change of attitude, she would not be employable in my business...or any business with which I would choose to engage as a customer or client. She sowed. She reaped. And she brought it on herself, all by herself. So be it.

There is no right for an employer to fire for off duty behavior, especially for being offended contracts with morals clauses and such in the exception

Much of what I say is personal. So man or woman up

You have to ask yourself. WhT kind of country we would be if people like u had their way. Some conservatives never quite understand freedom
