The number of people in this post that don't understand the difference between a private company's HR/PR decisions and the actual legal system is shocking.

A company can fire you for wearing a blue shirt that a customer didn’t like.

Americans have very, very few rights in the workplace regarding termination

Honestly the customer doesn't even have to dislike the shirt. It's incredible the lack of rights that Americans have in the workplace. Especially when we also have very weak safety nets in place for people who are out of work.

No one said they couldn’t fire roiland because it violates laws. They said he shouldn’t have been fired because of the concept of innocent until proven guilty. That’s separate from the law.

But the text messages to minors should be enough for anyone to want him fired.

What are you talking about? "Innocent until proven guilty" is only relevant from the perspective of the law.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The law isn’t the beginning and end of thought. The law was made because of the principle. It’s not fully encompassing of the principle.

Plus firing somebody that then it results it was innocent all along could as be very bad PR. Not in this case since ethere other stuff....

Is there any good proof about the messages or is it just speculative. If it's speculative, it's not enough.
