So a friend of mine, a former coworker, was a Fire Captain with the City of Greensboro and had been there 16 years. He posted the meme below and the City terminated his employment last week.
Link Attached File I worked at the same Dept for 20 years and was also a Fire Captain, and they initiated a dismissal process on me in 2020 for posting a meme critical of BLM. This City has gone completely "woke" and essentially all conservative opinions are classified as discriminatory. But here's a post from the City's official Twitter account Attached File Attached File |
Get Wayne LaPierre out of the NRA. Don't give them another cent until he's gone.

RIP: not GD, hope he gets this sorted out. |

|
That's rough...
Re-affirms my desire to never be on facebook. |

I tried that whole cancer thing. It wasn't for me. Good Riddance.
|
Not in uniform, not speaking for his agency, he might have something to appeal. What do the sop-s say? An attorney that specializes in this area would be the first person I contacted.

I must have scars on my tongue from biting it so often while in uniform. The admin and politicians will sacrifice you to the leftist deities. NY is run by leftist wack jobs.
One of the many reasons I grabbed my retirement not long after I was eligible. |

First Amendment retaliation.
Not to mention blatant discrimination against his sexual orientation. I'd be tempted to sue the (insert GD appropriate language here) even if they do hire him back upon appeal. I wouldn't sue the city, I'd sue the (***) who did it. |

And this is why I’m glad I’m in a state with good union protections.
Our city tried to put in a policy that said more or less that you could be fired for saying anything they disagree with online on or off duty. The union told them to fuck off and the policy was quickly clarified as to “while representing oneself” as a city employee. |

Your friend is about to make some money. His attorney should have a field day.

Why do you own a fire extinguisher when you have the fire department to protect you?
Politicians should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers so we could see their corporate sponsors. |

Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror.

Everyone on this site thinks every time they feel “wronged” it’s going to be a civil lawsuit payday. Maybe instead of bending over backwards to avoid jury duty (like the dozens of threads every year) you all should go and see how the legal system actually works.
NC a right to work state? |
|
|
Gonna get to retire by the time he gets done suing their ass.
|
|
|
So they fired him for his sexual preference?? That sounds like a payday…
Right to work does NOT apply to protected status . You can’t say “your fired because your black, old, female, sexually not what I like, ect” You can say “your gone cuz you are a Dallas cowboys fan, because you like chevys, you are a jerk” |
|
|
You and your buddy sue the city and teach them all a lesson
|
|
|
Most cities are way too liberal. That sucks, but I’m not surprised.
|
|
|
why would anyone in any official capacity even have social media in 2023, you could likely get fired over most anything you post as there is always someone offended. i hope he sues them and wins but this is why social media sucks.

Yea they allow you to be proud as long as you’re not straight. Unreal that they fired him for that!
|

What's the point of the union if they don't protect members from this garbage?
I guess it's like how they did fuck all while NYC was firing responders for refusing the experimental injection. |

Googling around about the outcome of this thread he, uh, doesn't appear to have had a successful appeal and is likely not currently relaxing on his yacht he bought with the proceeds of his lawsuit against the city of Greensboro.

Yeah it is amazing how much .gov gets to stifle your first amendment protections at times. Pretty ridiculous.
I miss the days when you actually had to do something wrong to get in trouble… Gee, wonder why everyone retires as soon as possible, and they cannot hire enough people these days? |

2021 can’t come soon enough!
Edit- well maybe 2020 wasn’t so bad after all..... |
