Only rules my company has is don’t take pictures at work (signed a NDA when I got the job), and to not post shit on Facebook. I can deal with that.
But if I go laugh at a joke on camera, or get drunk at a hockey game and punch out a fan from the other team, my job ain’t doing shit to me. If they did I would drive a truck loaded with 100 tons of steel through the entire fucking plant.
if the company expects me to “behave” a certain way even though I better get paid for being on controlled time. It is absolute bullshit that somehow, I can be considered a “representative” of the company and not get paid extra. He was not a high level employee, he wasn’t somebody that was in the public limelight, his job wasn’t dependent on the mob.
My time is my time, irregardless of what the company or workers may think of me. If it’s to be expected otherwise I expect pay for being on company time 24/7
some of you folks, I swear
he didn’t do shit but laugh at a joke. Holy shit is humanity fucked with this new age religion
Actually he said its fucking hilarious and shes lucky nobody stuck a vibrator in her ear.
So yeah, he got the boot and rightfully so. SRK confirmed to be broke, rebellious and womanless.
Yet again, so?
dunno how you came up with that…so far you’re only confirming how fucking retarded your little choo choo train of thought is.
Free Speach is dead. Money killed it. All hail Money.
This whole situation is dumb. Just a reminder if you do shit that might offend people do it as other people. That’s why the interwebs were made like they were.
The man is weak. He gave up without a fight, pathetic.
He didn’t to it, tho.
I don’t work a ‘job’ per se, but I do remember when this started…sometime after Facebook became ubiquitous employers wanted to remove the traditional boundaries between work time and personal time. I personally don’t believe that any amount of money is worth that.
We are living in a society where people feel like they have the right not to be offended…and that point is pretty far down the slippery slope toward censorship stunting the democratic process, the exchange of ideas and general progress. Corporate culture controls too much of life as it is.
Was what he said offensive? Yes it was. Do I care at all? No I don’t. Is he unique in finding immature crude humor funny? Nope. Do I think that everybody could have handled better? Absolutely.
ah, wrong thread
while I’m here-- that is messed up that he’s losing his job basically because he admitted that the comment was amusing. See? We’re now in a world where you aren’t allowed to really be yourself. You can’t afford to be honest with your answers about various things or even stuff you find to be funny. Certain groups of people out there are all perfectly tolerant and accepting of diversity and all that jazz…until you have the audacity to… disagree with them or say/do something they frown upon.
Couple of things
1.The reporter infringed on his space with some not pertaining to the report trying to be a social justice warrior which was dumb while letting the person who actually said it off the hook
2.I didn’t know this was a meme and after the first 5 min of watching a compilation it got played
Most people for if no other reason then short attention spans would have forgot this guy in the next 2 min most people were probably thinking
"Oh he’s dumb Eh"
I see a bunch of holier than thou people in the comments of that link who apparently never did anything wrong in their lives. Yeah, avoiding being in front of a camera when they do it makes them smarter about it, but all that stone-casting shit and saying they “don’t believe his apology because he just wants his job back” or whatever, makes me sick. Of course he wants his fucking job back. So what? She accepted it.
Motherfuckers just want to see him go public with it and apologize to the world because they want to see him look embarrassed while doing it. Get the fuck outta here with that. They can go back and watch Tiger Woods if they want to see that bullshit and stroke their egos because they’ve never gotten in that much trouble before.
-I see the reporter’s name is Shauna Hunt. I can think of a name that rhymes with that name that he and his friends will be calling her behind closed doors from now on. lol
you know this is all stupid cuz you can go on tv and curse in a language that’s foreign and not only does no one say anything but it’ll be allowed and shown on tv. it just proves just how retarded this whole notion of “dirty” words or “naughty” words is by media or just in official places.
like go to court and start cursing at the judge and he punishes you.
curse him out in a language no one in court understands and the judge will just politely nod to you.
its such hypocrisy and stupidity to consider some words as a “do not do or else” thing.
its just words.
verbal symbolism.
descriptive symbolism.
who fuckin cares!
Howard Stern: "Does God say shit?"
Mike Tyson: “Yes Howard. Since He invented shit. He must also say it.”
I’m gonna apologize to everybody in this thread early for entertaining this-- but this happens too often, so lets just get this straight while I’m here for the moment.
This is what I’ve done in the past 2 years:
I’m the second person in history to attend one of the (if not THE)most prolific music schools in the world for just that-- rapping. I’m the first person in history to get into their premiere vocal showcase-- with an original in only my second semester for that-- rapping. I came to Boston, a city where it’s ridiculously hard to find places to accommodate a live hip hop act-- and I perform consistently to good crowds(last show I did was 261 attendees out of a max 300 for the room, I was right before the headliner on the bill). I had no connections to this school, mediocre grade point average for transferring, and took zero music classes prior to applying-- so literally the ONLY way I could’ve gotten through was the audition process-- which in my entering year(2013) had only a 10% acceptance rate. I am currently mentored and supported at this school by two grammy award winning professors-- one who worked heavily with Biggie Smalls, and one who mixed “Stankonia” from Outkast.
But of course I objectively have no knowledge of music, right? Hey, without googling the answer if I’m in Ab minor and I have a SUBV7/IV, what would be the chord I resolve to? Maybe you could explain to us the chord scale that SUBV would take in that key? Or could you remind me again the difference between Contrary and Direct 5ths? Or why in Tonal music you aren’t suppose to have Contrary or Direct 5ths as opposed to Jazz Harmony? Hey-- remind me again what standard blues progression would be?
Let’s not even talk about getting 2nd at the first Berklee sponsored battle of the bands, or that I’ve been on Television, or on Red Vs. Blue, or that prior to my friend dying that I was going to be writing music for RBWY, or that I was one of the few students who got to perform a solo ORIGINAL for Harry Belafonte(one of the major contributors to the Civil Rights movement) at his honorary doctorate concert, or that I got to perform at a similar tribute for Talib Kweli when he came here, or that I organized and helped write the song consistently used by EVO as their theme since 2011, or that a day or two after the Mike Brown verdict it was one of the songs I was featured on that was played at a church congregation in Ferguson, or that after hanging with J-Dubz, Neal Pogue and Tomi Martin in Atlanta and was asked to keep consistently sending them music because they saw potential in what I was doing.
You don’t have to like what I do, you may not even agree with it. You’re 100 percent free to have an opinion and not like my stuff. It’s music, it’s totally subjective. But lets stop pretending like you somehow have a valid argument as to why I should stop doing this. You don’t. For the last two years everything that has happened has had 0 percent of your input. Because you don’t do anything. Literally nothing you have said about me or the viability of my music has been correct. While we’re at it, what exactly have you contributed to the community? I may not have finished Ranbat-- but 4 documentaries, trailers, articles, videos, event coverage-- what have you done? When you start doing shit, lemme know. When you accomplish half of what’s up there in your given field- you have a right to tell me what I can’t do, how much I shouldn’t be rapping. You are in a very vocal minority.
I take pride in what I do, and it took a look of hard work and sacrifices to get where I am. If you have a problem with my music-- you’re free to hit that PM button and take it there, but don’t derail the thread with your petty bullshit grievance that you don’t like that I’m succeeding at something I work incredibly hard for. You have a very sad life, and I hope you wake up with spiders in your penis.
Knowledge does not equal talent
You suck
This is srk nobody gives a shit about ranbats or contributing to the community.
Seriously dude. Nobody gives a shit.
@“yah yaahh b*tch!” May be attracted only to male to female transgendered people, the new halfs. And wear minnie mouse shirts. But he is spot on in this topic. Cheers.
To be fair, sensitivity aside, it’s a little goofy to act like that tirade wasn’t your fault at all.
It would’ve been one thing if your little jab happened in the lounge, but that shit happened to be off-topic and completely unprovoked. The fact that there was even a little back and forth is silly as hell, but you act like hornets aren’t gonna get mad when you slap the hive.
Meh he sucks ass at his chosen hobby. Like horribly.
WTF this thread is about getting fired over memes. Take your personal beef elsewhere…
I said my piece dude. Shit happens in every thread I stroll into, so I had to respond.
But I stand by what I said. When you’re working, you are representative of who you work for. If public perception divorced those two-- I can understand-- but as long as your actions negatively effect the company it’s a problem.
EDIT: used Peace instead of piece.
