Should this guy lose his job

[Admiral Yi]

The fact that it is a "meme" is completely irrelevant.  All that a meme is is copying what others have done.  A meme can be positive, neutral, or negative.

They should have tried that defense at Nurenburg.

Languish needs more Sask

If there is one thing Languish does *not* need more, it's Canadians.

This guy wasn't tracked down by anyone - the company identified who he was and that he would be let go.

If this is the case, though, it may work against them if he seeks notice. CC and I had a discussion upthread about just cause for causing reputational damage - may be harder to argue if it was the company itself that identifed him.

I was thinking that too.....if Hydro never mentioned anything, no one would have known where he works

I think his firing has less to do with what the general public might think and a lot more to do with his co-workers who would be able to identify him.  I agree with you and Malthus that the public only found out about where he worked because he was fired.   We also don't know whether he was fired for cause.  The fact that there has been no law suit filed makes me think severance was paid or at least that the negotiations are ongoing.  But whatever the dealings between them, he sure gave his employer a good reason to want to fire him even if they didn't have cause to terminate. The employer likely made the judgment that they did not want someone like that in their work place.

How about we split the difference and agree that one among BB, Malthus and CC needs to be purged.

Let's hear more from the gay lawyer from Poland, who is afraid to to reveal his own sexuality, complaining about "vindictive cunts" in Canada, because some people -imagine!- are really offended by sexism and public harrassment.

Yeah, that would be the guy I would want representing me in a  grievance.

I don't think you could afford me.

That's the point.  I don't think anyone could afford to have a lawyer like you to represent them.

Clearly Malthus, CC and myself are the very epitomy of languish, it's very soul.  You'd never survive without the Canadian Lawyers Cabal.

We can split them, all three of them, right down the middle, top to bottom. And then purge one of the halves.
