Craig,

Getting fired was probably the best thing that could have happened to you. Look for a real job. Acquire some skills if needed.

In the future remember if they call you a wop that does not mean you can call them a fag or ******.

As you see you can get the w word by the censors but not the n word.

You can probably get big bucks for those plaques and pins at your local pawn shop. More than ya can get for a Minnesota Vikings jersey I am sure.

What makes you so special that they would want to discriminate against you? Discrimination indicates something unique or threatening about you. Sounds like the opposite to me. You are just another replaceable employee. They don't care whether you made the comment or not. Better safe then sorry in this PC world. **** happens. Employees are replaceable.

I find it hard to believe you did nothing at all. Not even something that could be misconstrued...

Wow! I'm the one who usually is called the arsehole when they throw the BS card on a claim like this.

I wanted to say it but you did.

Kudos, Tori.
 
I don't like you.

Hey.. welcome to the site..

Fukk being a "Victim of Circumstances"... losers game.. if it's the way you said, you don't wanna work there anywho.

Fukk being a victim of anything.. not wise to hand your free will over to someone else...

I think it would have helped people believe you were a victim of anything if you would have explained comments like these...

What did she do to treat you to a different standard?

What were you accused of?

Without any details of the events, because I don't think any of us were there, you sound like a bitter ex-employee who as far as we know were a victim of your own actions and are claiming to be a victim of circumstance.

You cried?

Dude.

Seriously.

If you cried, while I was firing you, I'd lay my strong pimp hand across that jaw.

Yes.

I'd lose my job, too, but I wouldn't cry over it.

Do not let them see you weak.

Exactly. However, I'm not a fan of the victim complex. At-will employment, my dear. You can be fired for any reason, or no reason at all.

Really? 'Cause I'd just laugh.

Out of curiosity, is it possible to boycott a business you have never bought anything from.

or ever plan on buying from. If I wanted to buy something cheap that I have to put together myself, I'd buy some Legos.

Daniel, I hope you realize that future prospective employers may google your name as part of the pre-employment process. Dissing your previous employer will not be looked upon as an asset.

It's freakin rediculous. I got my son some for Christmas. And, what happened to imagination? I couldn't find just plain legos anywhere. They are all in sets now with instruction on what can be built with that set. I just want a big tub of legos; is that too much to ask?

I don't think I've ever been in an Ikea store before.

I seriously doubt I'd actually strike the snivelling little worm, but I would most definitely give him a stern talking to.

Just because this little punk has had his feelings hurt, I plan to festoon my basement in IKEA laminated particle board furniture.

is Shannon a "lil gay girl" because she refused your sloppy advances? Just wondering....
Of course. Don't you know any time a guy gets turned down it has to be because she was a friggin' lesbian. :D

Aww.. man.

Despite the viewpoint of geopolitical maps of the world, Mytilene is not the Lesbian Captial.

Atlanta is.
