Why would anyone want to push somebody into homelessness or into permanent reliance on government subsidies because they cannot find work only because they screwed up?
Imagine saying something controversial on social media and having that plastered all over the web.
- brutusborn 3y agoI don’t want to do any such thing. I want people to stop abusing the judicial system. She didn’t work, she was fired and she sued. I think it’s good if other businesses are aware of her behaviour. Unless your business is media or heavily linked to public perception, your controversial opinions should be irrelevant to work. This is different to a worker who doesn’t do their work and sues, that is _very_ relevant to future work. Your premise is also incorrect: there are businesses that are happy to take on extra risk and will happily employ felons or other black sheep. Many people are willing to give a second chance, but they should be aware that they are giving a second chance.
- lsaferite 3y ago> your controversial opinions should be irrelevant to work That is, unfortunately (or fortunately if you're that kind of person), not how things work for a large amount of jobs. If you have that scarlet letter, you're shut out of a lot of positions, even when that history _shouldn't_ matter.

- Tozen 3y agoIt doesn't appear to be as simple as that. She worked at the company for 18 years. If she was unproductive and committing fraud for all of the 18 years there, then that is a reflection of how incompetent her managers and the company's processes are. To be employed by them, for so long, means that she was likely productive for most of her time there (then slacked off at some point) and/or how employees are managed and evaluated at that company is completely dysfunctional.
- brutusborn 3y agoI honestly think the company being too dysfunctional to be aware of her behavior is more likely than her being a productive employee for more than a decade and then deciding to do no work.
