Well, I can see why he's fired right there.

PS, "At-Will" wtf?

Huk-L, Tuesday, 15 February 2005 17:57 (nineteen years ago) link

At-will = No-Reason

Yeah, what if he's with a very unattractive girl in the picture? That could mean "Bud drinkers score with the homliest of girls.." and therefore is HURTING BUD and helping Miller.

That's me in the corner...losing my position!

If only Johnny Paycheck were still with us to write a song about this.

GUH! I can't believe I dot-dot-dotted "That's me with a Bud Light"

xpost

Huk-L, Tuesday, 15 February 2005 18:04 (nineteen years ago) link

"Wrong Beer" is an oxymoron.

n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 18:08 (nineteen years ago) link

I like that by firing him they've given FAR FAR more publicity to their "former" employee drinking Budweiser than there would have been otherwise. Oh the ironing!

What about that company that is randomly testing people for NICOTINE and if you smoke off the job, you're FIRED.

Magic City (ano ano), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 18:12 (nineteen years ago) link

I'd like to hear the whole story, but chances are, if it's a policy, they've researched it with their legal department. So what is their reason? I can't think of a reason why they would not allow smoking in private...

dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 18:14 (nineteen years ago) link

I've heard of employers offering incentives for their workers to quit, but, like positive ones.

Huk-L, Tuesday, 15 February 2005 18:15 (nineteen years ago) link

at will employment is a fucking scam and needs to be abolished.

hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:02 (nineteen years ago) link

If you get canned where I work, you're not even allow to go back to your desk to get your stuff, they just escort you outside. And this is a fancy big-name media corp.

The Argunaut (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:04 (nineteen years ago) link

that's pretty common practice these days. surprisingly, at my last job they let me get stuff off my desk (and they even shipped some of my books home for me).

hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:05 (nineteen years ago) link

altho (haha) a week later they still hadn't revoked my password to their internet site, so i could copy all my bylines for future submission.

hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:06 (nineteen years ago) link

Wow, here they erase your face from the company directory the second they pull you into HR.

The Argunaut (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:08 (nineteen years ago) link

and actually, yesterday i got a check for $100 from them! wtf?

i still keep having bad dreams about places i've been fired from, tho.

hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:09 (nineteen years ago) link

Here, they go back in time and kill your grandparents.

Huk-L, Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:10 (nineteen years ago) link

They don't think it's fair that other employees have to pay a part of the medical costs that are the product of this lifestyle choice.

Magic City (ano ano), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 20:14 (nineteen years ago) link

the guy has already won in the COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION. expect budweiser to offer him a sinecure and feature him in their next superbowl ad.

80 percent of Microsoft employees who own a portable music player have an iPod

The whole notion that Microsoft is "frowning" at the fact that the workers there own iPods is hilarious. Almost everyone on the bus over to Redmond has them. I don't use the little white headphones, because they're uncomfortable and don't sound as good -- so maybe I'm unintentionally conspicuous, but I never had to hide my iPod when I was working there. As long as I did the work I needed to (which sometimes required I get into iPod zone out), that's the bottom line, and it wasn't a concern. It's counter-productive to be a bit fascist about it.. and I've never heard of anybody at MS getting fired over using an iPod.

So just deny them health insurance...

My brother used to work at Unilever and during his tenure there, everything in his house that could be Unilever was. At Christmas, all of our gifts from him were Unilever. Nothing conveys the spirit of Christmas more than this box of liquid soap! He came to my apartment one time, went into the bathroom cabinet and said, "what is this? It's not Unilever! You're disloyal!" Honestly, during his tenure there, he was as bad as Amway.

Some of these places are like those South Korean companies where you eat, sleep and exercise the company. Americans like to think they're better, but they're not.

My uncle worked at 3M. He would send along very thoughtful Christmas presents for us kids, but every year there was also always a basket containing way more than a year's supply of scotch tape and post-it notes.

here comes the hotstamper (jim in vancouver), Monday, 26 October 2020 20:51 (three years ago) link

it's like compressed Fuddruckers from the old days, where you'd see the people cooking the burgers in that big back area.

sometimes I just get a drink and steal pickles from the condiment bar...and stare at the manager and see what they'll do.

never ran afoul of the law before that night - now it colors my future.

I dream in infrared

Neanderthal, Monday, 26 October 2020 21:30 (three years ago) link
