I'd like to live to a world where your actions outside of the workplace in a physical or online sense don't affect how you're perceived but it's just not true.
I'm dating myself, but I grew up thinking pretty much whatever you did outside of work--was no one's business.
The first time I knew society changed was
when Charlie Sheen was fired for his lifestyle. Actually, the first time was the Clinton/Monica fiasco.
The only benefit I see from this
hyper morality is true hypocrites/authority figures are exposed. I partied in the eighties, like everyone else; The only time I was offered hard drugs was by three off duty cops at different engagements. I don't
think I(a stranger) would get that offer today?
I don't like it when one of you guys are fired over something said, but I'm all for exposing hypocritical Politicians and Law Enforcement types. Yes, I have been harassed by law enforcement, and if it happens again, and all this tech works, I will post the offence online. Legally--I know they can randomly stop people, I can randomly post.
I now have two cameras front and rear of my vechicle. I am
waiting for the next time I get pulled over for no reason. I also
try to keep that Iphone camera handy if I suspect abuse of authority.
I liked the old system because I was white and middle class, but I can't imagine what a lot of women and minorites had to put up with?
(Actually the I more think about it, maybe the reason we are so sensitive over online comments is because, as white males, we didn't experience the injustice the rest had to endure? I know my generation wasen't sexist, or racist, but my father's generation--is a whole other story.)
I think you understand what I mean but are perhaps being dense for the sake of argument. There are people who hold simile views to yourself and these people take it up on themselves to bring people's employers into arguments that they have no part of or perhaps would be otherwise unaware of. That's not to say the employer cannot have a response to comments and posts of this nature but they are not allowed to deal with it in a professional manner because the mob is baying at their door.
Nope, not being intentionally dense - I'm already unintentionally dense without adding to it! - but your comment felt like you were saying that I did those things, when in fact I never have.
