A mayor candidate in the region I'm from fired her longest term employee for wearing a MAGA hat on election day. Now she is begging for help from her big city friends to prop up her google reviews... link to google reviews

Everything after she told the employee that she couldn't wear the hat WAS subject to being fired.
Being stupid isn't just for Democrats...... "My constitutional rights are for keeping the government from impeding on me " my employer has rules i must follow or don't work there. |

Well, the business owner is right. Simple as that. Its a damn simple request to take off a hat so fuck that employee, they deserve to be fired. Thats how business ownership works. If the owner did the firing while wearing a Kamala hat thats a whole different ballgame but if political isnt allowed thats pretty cut and dried.

You can be 100% right but still be wrong.
Since it sounds like she wasn't even open yet, it was a stupid hill to die on. |

She should've fired the employee that needed a therapist afterwards.

Some state laws will expand on these federal ones but they can't take them away (unlike gun laws  )*Many claim our Socialism/Marxism is a faith. |

Your rights end where mine begin. Fire me but reap the consequences. You're both right. She's absolutely allowed to fire her employee for that reason. The fired employee is absolutely allowed to tell everyone why she was fired. The people in the community are absolutely allowed to treat that business owner in a way that reflects their opinion of her business practices. It sounds like she moved to a community where her views are not shared by most of her neighbors. Instead of assimilating to her new home, she immediately started trying to get involved in local politics to force her views on her new neighbors. Perhaps she should move back to where she came from. She might fit in better back there. |

I’d wager that 99%+ of our workforce from senior management all the way down voted for Trump. I still wouldn’t do that because it’s unprofessional. |

We are in an office environment and the dress code has been relaxed to casual dress since covid. Even with that there is a hard no slogans/brands/advertisements policy. Seems like they cut off their nose to spite their face.

The MAGA employee screwed up it sounds like but she could get a lawyer to extract a “go be quite payoff” settlement. The owner should shitcan the manager as well and reiterate ‘no politics’ in the office.
Everyone should keep their politics on BOTH sides out of the professional space. No one at work should know how anyone votes. |

If it was a MAGA business that fired an employee for a Harris hat, what would we be saying?
I'm much more in the "in this moment of greatness as we celebrate our win, we need to look inside to ensure we don't become the monsters we claim to hate". |
