Recently this racist Karen attacked a group of landscapers for "speaking Spanish".. She lost her job over it after a change.org petition got over 50,000 signatures. Is this a good or bad thing in your opinion? https://i.imgur.com/nnr2LCt.jpg

What a douchebag. Nothing positive ever comes from people like that, just erase them

I think it shouldn't have taken 50,000 signatures for the company to take the most basic action. when you work for a company, you forfeit some rights bc your words and actions suddenly reflect on the company, not just yourself. if you misrepresent the company then you can be fired, simple as that. not saying I necessarily agree with a company having such power over your speech and behavior, but that's the situation she was in. she'll find herself another job. she'll be fine

also, fuck people who think learning English is a requirement to enter, live, and work in the US. it's literally not.

Destroying or threatening the base of living for sb is not a good thing, but I wish some racist sluts could suffer a bit from their own food.

I don't love it because 1) I just generally don't like fucking with people's way of making a living - Racist Karen probably still has a family to support and her kids can't help who is raising them, and 2) I'm not sure what it accomplishes beyond satisfying a mob - Firing Racist Karen from her job doesn't make Karen not be racist, if anything she might end up more resentful...that's not to say these people shouldn't be shamed, they should - you can shame people without running to tell their boss on them, oh hey that brings up 3) nobody likes a snitch !! 😛

Our place of work should have almost nothing to do with our personal lives. Also, fuck people who come into the US and don't learn to speak English (though i don't know if the landscapers in question know English or not). But I don't think it's right to fire people for things they do in their free time, on their social media, etc., even when I don't agree with their opinions/behavior. Work life is infringing too much on personal life, and it's a form of thought control because most of us have no choice but to work.
