I was fired because I support Trump!

[eagle1462010]

Well? What say you good people?

were you being an obnoxious jerk to the people around you? were you imposing your "views" on others?

Nope. I just wore my “Make America great again!" hat to work last week, and my boss said, "If you're not smart enough to realize that Trump is playing you like the audience of WWF, then you can find somewhere else to work!".

Isn't that discrimination?

Discrimination? Nah just culling unneeded and unwanted workers

You think people should be fired for their political views? Like, could a boss fire, or refuse to hire, anyone she suspected of being a Democrat?

Right to work states allow anyone to be fired for any, or no reason. Right wingers love the idea.

So conservative minded bosses can now fire liberals for their views too.................sweet..............

No they don't. They can't fire anyone for the reasons designated as protected classes. And in California, political affiliation is as protected class. My lawyer days is a slam dunk. Show me the money!

Isn't that discrimination?

Well yes, that would be discrimination. Then again, only considering applicants who have a bachelor's degree is also discrimination. Only certain forms of discrimination are prohibited. The majority of the time, discrimination is lawful, expected, and advisable.

Well, I live in California, where political affiliation is a protected class. My lawyer says I have a strong case.

It is? I live in CA and not aware of that.

It's a 50/50 kind of thing. In California an employer can't try to control or coerce employees' political beliefs of affiliations. But that protection does not protect you from political expressions in the workplace that create disruptions.

There was no disruption. No one said anything about it. No one even talks to me at work.

I can see that. I try not to talk to you on this message board. Seems normal.

 

[my2¢]

Not if you keep it to yourself. But if one ignores an employer's dress code for wearing an item of clothing that publicly displays party affiliation, then that's another matter.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

No one even talks to me at work.

That's what happens when you act like an asshole who makes people uncomfortable.

It's not that. Most of them are Asians or Indians (from India) and we just don't have that much in common'

Political incorrectness warning: Those are Slurpee Indians, and are quite different from Casino Indians.

 

[BULLDOG]

Where is the line drawn? Wearing something political? Having a political poster on the wall in your office? A bumper sticker? Should a person wearing a 'Black Lives Matter' T-Shirt be fired?

What should be and what is are two different things. California is an "at will" state. It gives employers lots of advantages that employees can only complain about.

Why the fuck are you making fun of people who work at McDonald’s?

Did I upset you?

He just go promoted out of the fry basket job! Give him a break!

Can I Be Fired For No Reason in California? | LegalMatch Law Library
Can you Get Fire for No Reason?

• 
  California is an at-will state, which means that an employer can terminate you for any reason at any time of the employment with or without reason. This means that if your employer doesn’t like your personality, runs out of work for you to do, thinks you are lazy or just doesn't want anymore employees, they can fire you at any time.

Most employee handbooks today contain an at-will employment disclaimer. Most handbooks define what at-will employment and require an employee to sign an acknowledgment of their at-will status at the company. However, an at-will employee does have a right not to be terminated for reasons that are illegal under state and federal law.

What is At-Will Employment in California?
An at-will employment in California means that the employer or the employee may terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, as long as the reason is not illegal. It does not make a difference whether the employee actually did anything wrong. If the employee is at-will, any reason, including no reason, is a proper basis for termination.

Being an at-will employee does not give your employer all the reasons to fire you and there are exceptions. An employer can’t terminate you for any illegal reason. Some illegal reasons for terminating an employee in California include discrimination based on your sex, gender, religious belief, sexual orientation. If an employee is fired for any of these reasons, they may be entitled to sue the employer for discrimination. There are also other occasions where an employer can’t easily fire an employee such as if the employee has an employment contract with the employer or if the employee is a member of a union and under a union collective bargaining agreement.

Well? What say you good people?

If one has no better judgment than to air one's political views in situations that may in some way and in the firm's estimation compromise its revenue generating capability/prospects or smooth internal operations and conviviality/comradery, then, yes, one's boss should be able to fire one for airing one's political views.

That's not exactly firing one for having the political views one does, but it wouldn't surprise me to discover that folks who lack the prudence to know what to say and when to say (or not say) it don't understand the difference. Stupid is as stupid does.
